This dip is a tasty spin-off of hummus and is the perfect creamy spread to include on your next Mediterranean-inspired snack board. Pair it with sliced apples, grapes, small cubes of fresh feta, assorted crudite, and cashews. Using canned fava beans (sometimes called broad beans) saves time but look out for fresh fava beans in the spring. They take a little extra time to prep but are definitely worth the effort.
