Lemon and Garlic Hummus

This lemon and garlic hummus is made with canned chickpeas, lemon, garlic, tahini and olive oil. Cheaper and tastier than store-bought!

I love hummus and have always bought it at the store, but this homemade version is tastier, cheaper, and so easy.

I love mine with lemon and garlic flavors, but feel free to experiment with whatever flavors you love!
