Simple Hummus
Everybody loves hummus. That tangy smooth concoction that exists in almost any grocery store in America. Hummus is very procurable and liking it no longer makes you exotic or cultured (unless, of course, you don't like it then you're just the opposite). I'm obsessed with hummus and I feel like I'm pretty good at making it. The only problem is that I make it so flavorful that you enjoy it for one meal and have zero desire to finish the leftovers. I decided I needed to find a plain recipe that was tasty but not so overpowering that you need to brush your teeth 6 times! So, like many people, I went to google. I found a recipes titled Better Then Store Bought Hummus. In my opinion store-bought hummus isn't that good but I figured it was worth a shot! I've made it 3 times in the last 6 days. Does that answer your question? Simple hummus FTW!

Love hummus! Looks delicious!
hummus is a beautiful thing!
I agree!!
Nice idea of using black beans! Definitely a must try!
It definitely feels a bit odd eating purplish hummus but it taste amazing!!! 😉
I am definitely going to try this. Great recipe. I love Hummus
Agreed! Everybody loves houmous and this recipe looks great 🙂
Kimberly, I just bought a piece of turmeric root. So instead of sprinkling turmeric powder on my food, I just nibble off a tiny piece and eat it. It’s more inviting that way.

Yummy hummus
I made a batch today and Dad, Joel and I ate it with pita chips
yummy hummus I made some today also.
Looks good! I totally agree with this. I like to make a straight up basic hummus, and then mix different ingredients into it just before serving, depending on what I feel like that day. Right now, a couple of my favorites are red bell peppers or turmeric! 😀 That way you never get tired of it!
Great ideas! I’ll definitely have to try turmeric since that flavor of hummus is new to me! Roasted red pepper is always a win! 😉
Yes, definitely do give it a try if you like the taste of turmeric. I had it again for dinner tonight haha! I just published a post on turmeric hummus and the incredible health benefits of it. Good stuff! If you do make it, be sure to add a bit of black pepper. Gives it a nice kick!
