I love hummus and have been making home-made hummus for years. I always come back to a basic hummus recipe that my company served at the VIP Tailgate Party at Super Bowl XLIV in Miami. Today, I paired the hummus with a quick avocado salsa prepared with a tomato, celery, lemon, and sea salt.

New Culinary with Matthew Kenney Culinary & Plantlab Culinary
In 2017 I had the wonderful opportunity to participate in several culinary courses with Matthew Kenney Culinary and Plantlab Culinary and learned how to plate food more beautifully. One way to take a simple dish to the next level is to use a ring mold. In the hummus and avocado salsa dish, I layered the avocado salsa with hummus in the ring mold to create this simple lunchtime meal.
