Lemon Garlic Hummus Recipe

By Heather

When other kids were bringing peanut butter and jelly to school for lunch, I had hummus and pita bread. I got all kinds of strange looks from kids and teachers alike. It’s funny how many of the middle-eastern foods have become so mainstream. Things like greek yogurt, hummus, grape leaves and tabouleh salad aren’t so foreign anymore and for good reason – they’re delicious and healthy!

This is our family recipe for hummus. It’s great as a snack or a light meal when served with pita chips or bread, crackers, raw veggies or even as a sandwich topping. You might like it with less lemon and/or garlic. I would suggest adding a little at a time and adjust to your taste, but this is the way I like it.

    It sounds like the recipe I make, though I often add some roasted red peppers. It is funny how popular hummus is now. I haven’t been eating as long as you have, but it’s been at least 15 years.
