Delicious! Topped it all with a drizzle of EVOO and toasted pine nuts....... To die for.......! Yesterday I whipped up a perfectly horrid batch of hummus using raw garlic. I used 2 cloves and they were very large. I love garlic, but it was way too much. I'd planned to doctor it up today by making another plain batch & mixing them together until it was edible. Instead, I found this recipe, made it as per directions, and it was just toooo good to contaminate! I ended up with wonderful hummus from this recipe, and a container of the awful stuff that I salvaged by diluting it with a plain batch and a little onion powder. Good thing we like Middle Eastern foods aroung here! This is my "go to" recipe from now on. Thanks for saving my day!

YUMMY! :) I made this last Sunday to bring to a dinner party. This is so easy to make and very tasty. Everyone raved about how smooth and creamy it was. They liked that little hint of lemon flavor it had. I'll make this again for future gatherings. I served this with pita triangles, Ritz and vegetable crackers. Thank you so much! :)
