Comments
I love dips with a protein boost, and this Hummus (no tahini) recipe was so easy to make. The cumin added a nice pop of flavor. I'm a garlic lover so I added extra garlic and sprinkled a few red pepper flakes in as well. I served it with carrots, crackers, and olives. It made a healthy and delicious snack, and would make a great party dip, too!
This comes together quickly in the blender. Making your own hummus saves money and you can accommodate allergies. Fresh lemon and garlic make the flavors punchier. My 5 year old will eat this hummus with cucumbers, carrots, celery, and sliced bell peppers. Its a great alternative to ranch and adds protein to our snacks.
I have made this recipe many times. Both with real garlic and powdered garlic. One time I had a really large garlic clove and it was a tad too 'garlicy' so I now make sure to pick a small/regular size clove. Kids love to dip with carrots or whole-grain crackers!
