Making this is just as simple as putting these few simple ingredients into my trusty food processor.

Hope Smitherman says
Looks ridiculously easy. I have tried to make hummus once and it turned out a little too chunky. I like that you add water until it’s just how you want it. Oh, and your presentation of it is beautiful too!
Marjorie@APinchOfHealthy says
Thanks Hope! Enjoy. 🙂
