Tangy, delicious Vegan Lemon Garlic Hummus.

It’s no secret that I love all things chickpea. I have buddha bowls, salads, wraps, and pizzas with chickpeas on Well and Full, and I certainly don’t intend to stop at that. But while I’ll always be devoted to chickpeas in oven-roasted form, I love hummus almost as much. It’s actually kind of dangerous because I have been known to go through a tub of hummus in just a day. But nowadays I go the healthier route, and make my hummus at home. It’s infinitely more delicious this way, and only takes a few minutes to throw together in the food processor.

Knowing this, I hope you can appreciate the herculean effort it took me to give up this hummus to my boyfriend. The best of what I make in the Well and Full test kitchen, he gets to take in to work for lunch. So it was longingly that I stared at the hummus as I packed it into the glass bowls with spinach, carrots, and roasted chickpeas. But it makes me happy knowing that my guy has a healthy and nutritious lunch on the way!
