Pizza Hummus--dairy and sesame free

Pizza Hummus is a smooth or chunky blend of garbanzo beans, tomato paste, and a mix of Italian-inspired spices like basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper. This dairy- and sesame-free spread replaces tahini with nutritional yeast and olive oil, bringing a savory, cheesy flavor reminiscent of pizza toppings without typical allergens.
