The Trick for Amazing Hummus

Bev's Note:

I found the secret to making amazing hummus from Chef Roberto Martin in his cookbook vegan Cooking For Carnivores. Roberto states that, " The trick to making amazing hummus is water and air." In this recipe you will allow your ingredients to run in the food processor for 6-7 minutes, creating a light and fluffy final product. We love this recipe and hope you will, too.
