We made this one about a week ago and it was great. This is just a basic hummus, I have variations for Garlic or Red Pepper hummus too. – Malan

Substituting dried, cooked garbanzo beans makes this a 5 star recipe!  We also like it with an extra clove of garlic and topped with paprika. – Shamroq

Ingredients

  • 3 T lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
