Happy Humus

Cheese Please's Note:

After years of perfecting this recipe, I think this one is a winner! It is always a great idea to whip up a batch at the beginning of the week to have on hand for sandwich spreads, or when you need a low-calorie snack! Hummus makes me happy.

We added some extra minced garlic to this and it was fantastic. Even better than the store bought stuff!!! Thanks for sharing.

Very easy and tasty. I did add a bit more cumin, as we like it a lot! Great with some pita chips. Made for Spring 2012 Pick a Chef game.
