Homemade Hummus

Homemade Hummus

You can whip up a batch of homemade hummus in about five minutes with a handful of ingredients and a blender or food processor. And, it’s less expensive and tastes better than the kind you’d buy at the store!

Homemade hummus is great because you can reduce the amount of olive oil and tahini, making it lower in fat and calories.
