Easy Hummus Recipe
I love hummus, but why is it so ridiculously expensive? $3 - $4 for 8 ounces of ground up garbanzo beans! So, grab an inexpensive can of garbanzo beans, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and a food processor...for less than $1 you can make your own hummus!

Recipe Notes
Serve with pita chips or fresh veggies. Hummus is also delicious on my Mediterranean Pizza - see the recipe index on the left side of this page.
Tried this today and used some for the mediterranean pizza it was great!! thanks so much for the simple recipe!
I’m glad you liked it! I’ve always been too cheap to buy tahini, and I think this version of hummus works just fine without it.
