Notes
- If you've made too much (is there such a thing?), you can use your hummus as a pasta dressing, in wraps, as a spread for sandwiches/burgers, on toast, with shawarma, and more! Put it on everything and anything.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic you use for this. As it's raw, it does have a bite to it.
- I suggest using ice cold water if possible.
