  1. Thought I'd try this during the summer when fresh basil is in my garden. I'm glad that I did. This is wonderful! The flavor is somewhere between pesto and hummus. We enjoyed it with crisp vegetables as a dip and also in a wrap with lettuce, red peppers, cucumber and alfalfa sprouts. Delicious! Thanks Cyclopz.
