I love chickpea very much but I haven’t done hummus before, I don’t know why. It’s so easy to make and definitely tastes better and containes no preservatives than the store bought hummus. You can spread it on a slice of bread or you can eat it as a dip. Either you choose it tastes scrumptious. 🙂
I found the recipe on Emily’s blog – who makes delicious vegetarian and vegan meals.
