And it's actually super easy to make homemade if you really want to WOW your family! 😉 This is just a recipe for plain hummus, but remember you can add extra garlic or bell peppers or something else to make it your favorite flavor! Anything to spice up those veggies and make them enjoyable for everyone is a win! 🙌
