Hummus

Hummus is a healthy and flavorful appetizer and snack. Cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers and snap peas are perfect dippers. If you want to take your hummus to another level, boil dried chickpeas and use instead of canned ones. The texture will be amazing. If you are short on time, canned chickpeas will do.

Good recipe, quite tasty. I add about 1/3c of sliced jalapenos to give it a bit more kick.

Really liked this. It needed a bit more seasoning for my taste and less lemon, but i added some extra paprika, salt and pepper and it was delicious. I also only made half the recipe and there is still loads!
