Lets be honest, hummus is the most versatile dip there is. Now I know what you’re thinking…Joe, what about salsa? My response to that is, you can’t dip vegetables into salsa can you? I mean you could, but would enjoy it?. I think not! Now, I realize salsa can go on tacos and hummus doesn’t, but that’s just because of these imaginary “rules” we place on tacos. I actually think hummus would be totally delicious on a taco…is that weird? Maybe.
Ok so I digress. You only need 7 ingredients for this traditional hummus, and it’s practically impossible to screw-up. Literally all you do is pop the ingredients into your food processor, and voila, it’s done.
Did you know eating hummus can help you…
- Alleviate anemia
- Fend off osteoporosis
- Lower your cholesterol
- Prevent heart disease
By the way, if you’ve never had fresh hummus before, you might have a hard time going back to the store bought kind. It’s so good!

Oh yeah, I’d also like to recommend getting this $30 Black & Decker food processor if you need a new one, or you just don’t have one. Honestly, this thing works great for me, and the price is right too.
