Lemon Garlic Hummus
I love how easily this dip comes together. I usually start with a base – plain hummus - then add all sorts of ingredients. In this case I add extra lemon and garlic for added zest.

Notes
Rather than adding cloves of raw garlic to this hummus, try roasting the garlic first to give it a deeper, and more well rounded garlic flavor. Learn how to roast heads of garlic easily using this recipe.
