I would like to try this hummus with baby carrots. Healthy and yummy!


This sounds so creamy and dreamy! I saved it and I'll try it soon, thanks for posting it.


Yep a perfect recipe for Hummus - I actually made it at 4 times (to feed 16-24 persons) - cause I damn love this stuff and it keeps well in the fridge for a week or two in little sealed containers. :)


Sounds terrific..simple, flavourful. Wondering if you've tried a jalapeno or roasted bell pepper version. We get ready made hummus called Sabra..but its very rare and hard to get.


This sounds awesome - cant wait to try it, thank you for sharing.
