Cilantro Lime Hummus

DSC_4415
All you hummus lovers out there really need to try this unique hummus from
How Sweet It Is. I made it this weekend for hubby and couldn't wait to share it with you. I'd never tried cannellini beans in hummus so was excited to see how I liked it. The beans made it seem more thick and smooth. This hummus was different than any other I've had because of lime and cilantro flavor. I wish I would have doubled this recipe because it was gone in a matter of half and hour! Hubby and I preferred it with corn chips, yummy!
