Maybe you like hummus or maybe you don’t. If you are one who does not like hummus, I invite you to try the recipe below. I have always disliked hummus because it has some foul taste that has never been appealing to me. However, a long time ago, I tried making my own and you know what? I found out that like hummus (but only if I make it myself). So think of this as trying green eggs and ham for the first time and decide for yourself.
Even if you decide after trying this recipe that you still don’t like it, make sure to serve it to your friends because I know they’ll love it, just as everyone did this past holiday weekend. You’ll come out looking like a hero for making homemade hummus.
