Lima beans have been on my radar to try for the longest while. I was also planning to do a hummus recipe because a few people requested it. So this was the perfect opportunity to get into the kitchen and do a bit of experimentation with baby lima beans.
This baby lima bean hummus is relatively quick and easy to prepare, using a few basic ingredients. If you want to keep this as traditional as possible you can add tahini as well. The outcome is a smooth, buttery, vegan dip that is perfect for entertaining or as a healthy snack.
