Hummus with Raspberry Vinegar

Submitted by CrisLeigh

"My dad sent me this recipe when I told him I was going to the Mediterranean deli almost everyday for hummus! I leave out the cilantro entirely when I make it, and I play around with different flavored vinegar or oil - my favorite is to use chili-flavored vinegar and balsamic vinegar! Experiment and let me know how it turns out!"

I can't believe this has no rating! I've been making it for years. Raspberry vinegar is always in the pantry just for this. Everyone always loves it and often the recipe is requested. The only change I make is to substitute parsley for cilantro or skip it because I'm one of 'those' people. <br/>This is SO good, and good for ya!
