Mediterranean Creamy Hummus

You don't know hummus I missed you!

Alright, so I had this on my list of making things from scratch for a quite some time. Does it even require introduction!?! Making hummus is not a rocket science, but certainly takes trials....many trials until you reach that authentic hummus flavor. Personally, I like my hummus with sandwich, wrap, salad, as a dip with vegetables/pita bread/pita chips, or just enjoy a nice spoonful! I do like store bought hummus but it gets hard and dry after opening and the texture just isn't the same as fresh. Honestly, it took me a long time in search for that perfect texture of hummus. I like mine nutty, creamy, and a little fluffy. So here I am sharing my recipe with y'all, hope you guys like it!
