I love hummus so I'm always willing to try a new variety. I think the citrus would be great at cutting through the richness of the chickpeas.
ReplyDeleteI've never made hummus before, but I really should! This looks like a really delicious recipe, I love the flavour of lemon x
ReplyDeleteWe have a big family BBQ coming up so I will have to try my hand at this for that.
ReplyDeleteLemon and hummus? Literally nothing could go wrong. Hummus is probably by far my most favorite thing in the entire world. You can never have too much hummus.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about lemon. I will try out this recipe.
ReplyDeleteI am having a party this weekend and will need to serve this, thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteI love new hummus recipes - I can't stand the plain but this sounds like a great alternative to my normal hummus and rosemary standby!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea with all the delicious seasonings in this hummus. Looks really tasty!
ReplyDeleteI love hummus everything, and this lemon humus would be just perfect as a topping and a dip. A great idea! The dill makes a nice flavour to it too.
ReplyDeletethis hummus sounds super delicious!! Im totally making it today!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE hummus and this sounds delicious. Thank you so much for sharing - I didn't even know you could make hummus at home!
ReplyDeleteI've never attempted to make my own hummus but you've made it sound so easy! I'm going to give it a go this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so tasty, I never make my own hummus but I might just have to and try this one!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love hummus. I am definitely going to make this great post 😊
ReplyDeleteI love to make hummus from scratch and this variation looks so good!
ReplyDeleteOhh I love making home made hummus although it's been a while since I last did and I love the idea of adding some lemon for that extra kick and zest
ReplyDeleteLaura x
Never heard of hummus. Thanks for introducing as it looks delicious. Will try to make it at home.
ReplyDeleteI do love hummus but have never made my own. It looks delicious. Kaz
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to say that I have never tried hummus. Sounds yummy though
ReplyDeleteI love hummus but have never dared try to make it myself! This looks so simple though that I am keen to give it a go. Also it would be simple to change some of the ingredients to make other versions too :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I've never tried lemon hummus before but I think it might be nice with summer salads now I think about it!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I am the only one in my family that loves hummus. Oh well, not an issue. I will make this and have my me time. Good food, a good book, and me! Nice.
ReplyDeleteOh this is interesting. I love hummus and I know that there's some sourness to it but I dunno if adding more lemon to it would make it more palatable. I already like the mild sourness to the regular hummus.
ReplyDeleteNow this sounds all kinds of perfect t. Whilst I do use a little lemon in m hummus, I've not really used as the featured element of the dish, but will certainly give this a go.
ReplyDeleteLove homemade hummus. Your trip to Crete sounded wonderful and your photo is gorgeous as ever.
ReplyDeleteHummus is something I have never tried before so I couldn’t comment on its flavour but lemon is always a refreshing ingredient to add into something for a bit lighter
ReplyDeleteI also love to try out different flavours of hummus. This one is also simple and tangy.
