Homemade hummus is as easy as pushing a button! Skip the store bought and try this easy recipe instead.

When I finally got around to making homemade hummus, I couldn’t believe how simple it was. I’d been spending way too much money on store-bought hummus that wasn’t half as good. I love it because it has lots of lemon, doesn’t require too many ingredients, and can be made in the blender (or food processor).

Serve it with some pita (or pita crackers) and cut-up veggies. Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
