Easy Homemade Hummus

Nothing is easier than just buying a case of Hummus, but it will NEVER taste as good as this. We skip the hassle of boiling the chickpeas, because really, who wants to watch chickpeas boil? This is the traditional flavor — nothing fancy. Just chickpeas, garlic, salt, tahini, and lemon juice. Oh so good!
