Cranberry Jalapeno Hummus (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

A bag of dried cranberries combined with a trip to the farmers market and a lovely spring day helped inspire me to create this cranberry hummus to serve with fresh spring veggies on a pretty afternoon get together. I paired the tart-sweetness of cranberries with the spiciness of jalapeno and the bright flavors of cilantro and lime juice. This Cranberry Jalapeno Hummus is yummy as a dip or spread. Plus, I think this hummus would be gorgeous for the holidays, too.
