Lemon Garlic Hummus

Move over store bought hummus! Never again will I buy hummus when I can make something with so much more flavor!! Oddly enough I am not a huge hummus fan, although I wanted to be as it is very good for you! This is another slightly adapted Taste of Home Magazine recipe. The changes I made were using half of the amount of oil originally called for,  more lemon juice, roasted garlic, and added cumin for extra flavor! I changed this recipe more than I thought but the base recipe was a great starting point!!  I am going to give you my adaptations to the original recipe but as always change it up your way !

I made this for a girl’s weekend away at a friend’s camp.  I took some for us and left some for the boys at home! Everyone really enjoyed the bold flavor and I really enjoyed the five minutes it took me to make it!

This will make a great dip for any pool side, lake side or holiday gathering you have!!
