    Easy and delicious this hummus recipe is always my go to indulgence whenever I have time to make it. It is the perfect condiment to enjoy as a dip, in a wrap, as part of a mezze spread or... straight from the bowl. (I know naughty).

    This hummus recipe is so easy, I made it all the time, and it is a staple on our dinner table. Hummus is probably one of the most popular dishes in the Middle East. Rich in B vitamins and minerals it has grown in popularity throughout Europe. It is so easy to make and it freezes well if you leave out the garlic.

    My husband loves having it on sandwiches, or just dipping some warm and freshly baked pita in it. I love having it as a snack with cucumber and carrot sticks. Of course, it is also the ultimate mezze dish.

    If you are planning to use your hummus in a wrap I would recommend this Chicken wrap or this Israeli Shawarma recipe

    For me what makes homemade hummus so irresistible is the tanginess the lemon juice adds to it. Also, it makes whatever you choose to dip into it - bread, meatballs or raw vegetables taste fresh.

      I'm from Portland, OR and I think just about every restaurant makes Hummus. It's a friendly item to have on the menu in terms of affordability. I never order it when I'm out; most places don't follow traditional preparations.

      Your recipe for hummus however, looks really inviting!!

        Thanks! Never been to Portland before but when I do I will look out for the Hummus!
        Its not usual here in England to have hummus on the menu unless you are a middle eastern restaurant.
