A simple hummus is perfect for a last-minute snack. I love this spiced version. I created this recipe as part of a spice collaboration on Instagram. Our task was to choose two and create a recipe. The idea was to give spices the attention of some of their benefits. I decided on cumin and coriander from five being featured today. Cumin is an anti-inflammatory, known as an antibacterial and antiseptic that helps boost the immune system. Cumin is also a good source of iron, and calcium and magnesium. Coriander is known to ease digestion and help with cholesterol levels. I combined these comparable spices in a tasty and easy hummus. I love to eat hummus with sliced sweet peppers. A perfect snack packed with nutrition.
