Hummus is by far my favorite snack. I'll eat it all day every day if I could. I love the taste and it goes with everything. But if you're like me, and can get bored of certain foods easily, then this is the recipe for you. This recipe makes four different types of hummus so you can still snack on hummus and not get bored of it so quickly. These four different hummus recipes are so easy and so delicious. By no means are any of them claiming to be authentic versions of hummus. This recipe is simply my modern take on the classic hummus recipe. This recipe is super quick since you can use canned chickpeas and don't have to soak them overnight. The different types of hummus all start out with the same base of chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, and water. Then comes the mix-ins which add a ton of yummy flavors and color!
