Recipe: Classic Hummus

Just plop this goodness on anything.

Or eat it alone with a spoon. That works too.

In all honesty, hummus has become a true staple in my house. Makes for a perfect snack with crackers or veggies, and instantly spices up a salad or sandwich.

Bonus - it takes 10 minutes to make!
