Recipe Notes

  • There is only 1 clove of garlic in this Hummus but you can add more if you like it more garlic-y.
  • I first tried this recipe with the juice of a full lemon but didn't like it that lemony. You can use a full lemon if you want. I just opted for a half.
  • Some recipes call for baking soda with the canned chickpeas but I didn't feel like this recipe needed it.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Will last for up to a week!
