HOMEMADE HUMMUS

Look no further than this homemade hummus recipe for a classic, versatile dip. Made by blitzing together just seven ingredients, this Middle Eastern chickpea dip contains tahini (a sesame seed paste), lemon juice, chickpeas and popular spices like garlic powder, ground cumin, ground cayenne pepper and salt. Lusciously smooth with a bright hint of lemon, you’ll never go back to store-bought hummus after seeing how easy — and fun — it is to make at home. Whether serving creamy hummus with fresh vegetables and pita bread or slathering on sandwiches and wraps, the sky’s the limit when it comes to this tahini-forward dish. For a fancy presentation, drizzle olive oil and garnish with chopped green onions, cut olives or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
