Hummus is a very versatile dip. I love how you can customize hummus with your favorite flavors. If you love garlic, you can double or triple the amount of garlic and leave out the red pepper. If you like sun-dried tomatoes, use those instead of the red pepper. Have fun and make it…

Watermelon Limeade
