Recipe: My Father’s Hummus

My father introduced me to hummus as a little girl (before many of the brands were even sold in grocery stores!), and this is the hummus recipe he always made us. Just recently, Michel and I visited my dad in Boca Raton, Florida, and he made us his hummus. It brought back all the memories.

This recipe is so simple, yet so yummy—I thought I would share it with my fellow girlfriends!

Enjoy!
