How to Summer Perfect Easy Hummus

How to Summer Perfect Easy Hummus Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Easy Hummus. This easy lemon-garlic hummus from Kris Capener in Utah is perfect for beginners!. I was skeptical about leaving out the tahini. I added a bit more garlic, a tsp of black pepper, a dash of tamari, and a chopped up green onion to give it some of the flavors of my fave Moosewood recipe.

For a vibrant green spring hummus, swap out the beans for shelled peas, and add some mint for a fresh pea hummus.
