This is a lemon and garlic flavored Hummus and it tastes wonderful! Try adding additional ingredients to add different flare such as hot pepper flakes or basil. The sky's the limit! Enjoy!"

"This recipe is inspired by the many hummus recipes I have seen, but had added oil & were lacking the flavor I was seeking. It's classified as Greek for the actual Hummus part, and Indian for the coriander/cumin/cayenne combo, which is common in Indian food, and gives this dip an interesting twist. Tahini is sesame (seed) butter, and the best thing..."
