1 cup Sabra hummus
1 cup crumbled feta
1 roasted red pepper, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp finely chopped pickled jalapeno, or 1 tbsp Tabasco sauce
3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander, basil or parsley
Place hummus, feta, red pepper and jalapeño in a food processor. Whirl until evenly mixed. Whirl in coriander just until coarsely chopped. Scrape into a serving bowl. Or, if making ahead, place in a container, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days. Use as a dip for pita crisps, tortilla chips or veggies, or spread on toasted baguette slices.
