White Bean and Basil Hummus

     This is a recipe I pinned on Pinterest.  I'm a big fan of hummus- as a dip, on sandwiches, and even all by itself.  In the past, I have tried to make traditional hummus and the results were never quite as good as hummus made by professionals.  I was excited to try this twist on the classic recipe and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
