How’d it Taste?

    Easy to make, and good, but could use a little kick of something – perhaps more garlic would give it a little spice. Overall, good though.

  • Scott says:

    Personally, I don’t know much about hummus, as a matter of fact this is the first I have ever made and I LOVE it, thanks for the recipe.
