ReplyDeleteLove, love, love hummus. We eat it a lot at my house.. haven't made my own in years, I should definitely give it a try again. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThat hummus looks delicious! I love the thyme garland, what a great idea. :)
ReplyDeleteWish I could dip into it right here on the screen. I like that you add carrots, I'll have to see if my hubby will make this as he does the cooking around here.
ReplyDeleteWe leave out carrots and soya sauce to make it Jewish style. And sometimes we use lime - because we run out of lemon and lime here is easy to get.
ReplyDeleteI haven't ever tried hummus but have been tempted before so I think I'll have to try this recipe. Thanks Margaret!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome...
ReplyDeleteyummy hummus.
I absolutely love hummus! Costco has a pretty good one, but I agree homemade is best!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to try your version...
That's one of my favorite snacks - but I've never added carrot. I'll have to try it....but I won't tell anyone until they've had a taste.

ReplyDeleteI've never tried carrots in my hummus but I like that idea! It would make it a pretty color, too.
