Vegan Pesto Hummus

We're so happy because we've just posted our first Youtube video, yay! We're really excited because we wanted to make videos since January, but we've been so busy. Fortunately, here we are, with a new project we love.

We'll share 3 videos every single week on Youtube every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and also 3 posts on the blog with the full recipes.

This is not our first blog, we started Danza de Fogones (our Spanish blog) 3 years ago and this simple hummus was our first recipe. Once again, we start a new project with a hummus recipe and like pesto is one of our favorite things in the whole world, we decided to make this delicious vegan pesto hummus.

English is not my first language, so please forgive me if I pronounce something wrong. Subtitles are available just in case you need them. At the beginning we thought about starting the Youtube channel only in Spanish, but we love you so much and we're so thankful for having you in our lives, so we also want to make English videos for you guys.

Thanks a lot for all your support and please subscribe to our channel for more delicious, simple, healthy, vegan recipes. Hope you like the video!
