Very Lemony Homemade Hummus
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).
