Doesn’t the arugula make this hummus look so fancy? 🤴🏼Technically this arugula wreath is called a “laurel wreath” or “civic crown” that Julius Caesar wore to symbolize victory. Good ol’ history.

The secret ingredient in this recipe is peanut butter. Add it in addition to tahini. It’s seriously SO GOOD.
