How-To Make Hummus

By

This recipe is packed with flavor and really rich. It’s my fave but sometimes when I want to lighten it up a bit, I’ll cut back on the oil and/or tahini a bit and add in a little extra water.

Once you’ve got this base recipe down you can add in lots of different flavors and ingredients. A few of my favorites are roasted peppers, artichokes, and kalamata olives (BUT not all together;)!
