Almond butter hummus is a great, tahini-free alternative to hummus made
with peanuts. Almond butter is a sweet, nutty complimenting flavor to this
classic appetizer.

To make almond butter:
Pulse 1 cup raw almonds to a powder, in a food processor. Drizzle almond
oil, olive oil or canola oil, into running food processor over powdered
raw almonds; start with 3 tablespoons and add more to taste. Process till
smooth or desired consistency.

Season to taste. Add 1/8 teaspoon salt for savory (or to taste). Add honey
to taste for sweetened almond butter.
