Hummus

By Pikachutherecipereader

This hummus has ruined me for any I can find in the store or restaurant. It's light and fluffy and massively flavorful because of the garlic and lemon. I don't agree with others that it needs olive oil mixed in. I do drizzle some on top though as well as a sprinkle of pine nuts. Perfection!

• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
