5 Minute Hummus

my mama's 5 minute hummus is the quickest, easiest, and most delicious way to impress your guests with side dishes for dinner or snacks

There are so many ways to make this 5 Minute Hummus but here is my go-to. I received this recipe from my mom a few years ago and was hooked. Everyone we make it for raves about it! We love eating it with pita chips, toasted pita, and crunchy veggies. Enjoy!

Here’s a video of how I put together my Mama’s 5 Minute Hummus, or you can watch how I make it during a dinner party here. For another delicious dip, check out this Tzatziki recipe.
