Easy Hummus Recipe You’ve Ever Made!

Hi HealthStyles Community Members!

Tori and I just created this basic blog to make it easier to send out short messages on healthy living and lifestyles!

Today, we are sharing a basic hummus recipe that I made the other day!  My first attempt left it tasting a bit too lemony and garlicy!  So, I pulled back on both as you will see below. Tori tried my second batch of hummus and loved it!!

If you make this hummus, Tori and I would love to know how you liked it!  Monica has already chimed in saying that Tahini is not necessarily needed to make hummus.  Although, I just like following the recipe first and then making variations after I’ve tasted the first batch. :-).

Enjoy and we hope we can continue to keep you chock full of healthy tips!!

Best, Tori and Danyetta

Here’s the recipe:
