This is how we make hummus and it really does taste fantastic - it just gets better as it sits, too! I'm so happy that there's a way to make this delicious dip and it's so worth it when you consider how much the store varieties cost!

What can I say but wonderful! It is so nice that I can make this at home. It is just as good as the store bought. But I think this tastes better because it is fresh. I also kicked it up the second time making it with 8 garlic cloves, cayenne pepper. If you like a bit more of a bite to it. It is wonderful anyway you make it. My roommates kids beg me to make this, they don't know it is pretty healthy to. This will be our little secret!

once you find out how easy it is to make this yourself you will never buy it premade again. as with all things homemade it tastes much better as well.
