Hummus is one of my favorite “go to” foods when I looking for a snack and is a great source of protein for vegans and vegetarians. I like to dip in with plain rice crackers which tastes delicious with hummus. Hummus can be used in wraps in place of mayonnaise, or used as a dip with your favorite veggie or taco chip. Here are the ingredients that you will need to whip up a batch of hummus. I like lots of garlic so adjust the amount you use to suit your taste.

I make a batch on the weekend and put in into small containers. One goes in the fridge and the rest go in the freezer until needed. 
You are probably wondering why I am showing you my citrus reamer…..it is one of my kitchen essentials and is a must have when you are making hummus. Enjoy!
