Personal Connection

Hummus is such a velvety dish with so much history. I remember it was a dish that I really wanted to like because it seems so healthy and been around for centuries. However, I just couldn't bring myself to like the store bought hummus because it had a sour taste from the citric acid that is typically added. This inspired me to try making it on my own, and I'm so glad I did because I think this homemade recipe is do delicious.
