This is a great snack with veggies, tortilla chips, pita chips, or crackers, and is also great on a sandwich! I eat hummus almost every day and experiment with adding different flavors to it. This basic recipe is still my favorite. Read more I love the flavor of the garlic and lemon together. See less
