Lemon Garlic Hummus

Hi Everyone, I received Way Better Snacks Sweet Chili Corn Tortilla Chips as apart of my Influenster Vox Box, and they were definitely sent to the right person because I really enjoy tasty delicious food products that are pushing the bar in terms of innovative, nutritious ingredients and participating in the Non-GMO Project.

These chips are TASTY and have a zing that really compliments the flavor of the Lemon Garlic Hummus - it JUST goes.

I received Botticelli Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil complimentary to use and review and I have to say, this EVOO is fragrant and delicious!

It's imported from Italy and works so well to drizzle over this Lemon Garlic Hummus or say in a dressing...I am also featuring it in another upcoming recipe, so stay tuned!

Web Story

Being a huge fan of the "process" of how things come together, here (above) is another one of my collages of how to make Lemon Garlic Hummus.

You will notice this recipe doesn't call for removing the skins of the chickpeas (a great tip for getting super smooth hummus) or adding tahini (also an excellent flavor but sometimes I find it hard to get in the grocery store) - this is a simple, no fuss, no muss recipe for when you want Lemon Garlic Hummus, on the table NOW.

I absolutely LOVE hummus, but I never thought to add lemon to it. This is pretty genius and I can't wait to give it a try!

  Hi Rebecca, I find that the lemon gives a nice little zing to the flavor and makes it so fresh! Thank you!

I never thought to use the chickpea liquid to loosen the hummus. I always just kept adding lemon juice and EVOO. You have opened my eyes! And next time I'm in the snack aisle I'll open my eyes to find these yummy chips!

  Hi Erin, yeah, my husband Eric makes it that way and it always comes out smooth and great tasting, so I included that method here with this Lemon Garlic Hummus recipe 🙂 I am glad you like it, thank you for visiting!

Sara I tried to make it once a few years ago, and let me tell you it did not turn out. But i think you have given me reason to try again! This looks simple and delicious!

  Hi Kaitie, I think it's just a matter of getting the consistency with adding the liquid and flavor/savoryness right with the salt and pepper. Thank you for visiting!

This is about as adventuresome as I get with hummus. The simpler the better as far as I'm concerned.
