"This is a very good base hummus recipe. It has a good texture and some flavor. Because I like lots of flavor, I would probably add additional garlic and maybe some cayenne, but that is just personal..." See more preference. You can't go wrong with this recipe and then you can tweak it with additional seasoning from there."
