Hummus is a family favorite and I often whip up a batch for our parties. Sometimes I mix it up with some Latin flair or make it with just a few spices like I did for my recent Greek Mythology Teen Halloween Party. My sons actually love hummus, so it was a hit with them and their friends. This recipe is super simple and can literally be whipped up in 5 minutes.
