Notes

Nutrition values are an estimate only, and are based on 8 servings.
When making hummus and other bean dips, the garlic flavor tends to "bloom" over time. So if it doesn't taste garlicky enough to you when first made, I urge you to wait an hour and taste it again.
You may want to add more or less lime juice according to taste, so add it bit by bit. Same goes for salt.
Freshly made hummus will last you about five days in the fridge in an air-tight container.
Did you know that you can freeze hummus? Yup, you sure can! Just scoop it into freezer-friendly containers, label it with the date, and it'll last up to three months in your freezer.
