- Fresh basil is key to a good pesto-- make sure to really pack it tightly! 
- Feel free to leave the pine nuts out or swap them for toasted walnuts.  
- Lemon adds great acidity and freshness. I highly recommend freshly squeezed juice. 
- Garlic is a classic addition in both hummus and pesto. 
- Olive oil helps thin the pesto and hummus to create a smooth dip. 
- Parmesan cheese adds a bit of nuttiness and saltiness. 
- Chickpeas are the base of our hummus. Make sure to drain and rinse them very well. 
- Tahini adds extra nuttiness and creaminess to the hummus.
