For a smoother hummus, soak the sunflower seeds in water for at least 2 hours before blending. If you don't have fresh chives, you can substitute with 2 tablespoons of dried chives, but the flavor will be slightly different. This hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
