This easy to make hummus was ready in just a couple of minutes time. The pesto gave it good flavor without the tartness you often get with sun-dried tomatoes. The garlic was mild and not overpowering but if you like your hummus more garlicky feel free to add more. We used about 5 tablespoons of oil but how much you need will also depend on the pesto you use (some are more oily than others).
