Comments
I made this hummus in a "kids in the kitchen" class by bringing an immersion blender. Most kids liked it blended very smooth but it was good for them to make it and know that hummus starts out mostly as beans. We ate it with raw veggies.
We love hummus and this recipe is so good! We ate it with carrots and peppers!
