The Best Hummus Recipe!

Not long ago I discovered the absolute best hummus recipe. I was searching for healthy snacks I could make here at home for hubby and me. I made the hummus, but my husband didn't like it. I however, *loved* it! I made hummus again another time, with another recipe and discovered that while the hummus recipes were very similar, they respond to different spices.

This means that the best hummus recipe in my opinion is a basic one, with not too many ingredients. After you make it once (if you've never tried it before), you'll know whether or not you like the nutty flavor of the chick peas. I think you'll like it. When you make hummus again, you can experiment with different flavors and create your own individual best hummus recipe!

To help you with all that, I've included the best hummus recipe I have, along with hummus recipe videos and links - and even some hummus photos to inspire you!

What Is Hummus, Anyway?

Hummus was created in the Middle-East and is a delicious dip. Hummus has a lemony and garlic-y taste to it that really gives the taste buds a buzz. The main ingredient of hummus is chickpeas. Hummus is full of vitamins and minerals that are very good for your body.

Hummus can be used as a dip for things like tortilla chips or bread sticks. It can also be spread on bread and used as a sandwich spread. Hummus is also really great on crackers and is a low fat dip so it is good for people who are watching their weight. The best thing about making hummus is that it requires no cooking, so this is a great recipe for young people and people who are inexperienced cooks.
