Classic Hummus Dip Recipe Video

Hummus is such an easy appetizer – it requires just a few ingredients and can be doctored up however you like it. I like my hummus simple (as you will see below) but you can add ingredients like diced olives or roasted red peppers and pack even more punch and flavor.
