I’ve been bound and determined to create a delicious hummus recipe that compares to the store bought versions that I love.  My personal favourites are Tribe and Summer Fresh brands.  I really like Tribe for the lemon flavor so lemon was an essential addition to make this recipe work for me. Another goal with this recipe was to create something that the Little Girl would eat.

With those things in mind, the hummus recipe below is what I came up with. Also? The cumin, paprika and oregano sprinkled over top really make this snack delicious!

2. Slowly drizzle in the 1/4 cup of olive oil while the food processor is running.
