Hummus is one of the easiest and most delicious appetizers you can make, as you literally dump all your ingredients into the food processor and turn it on. Its also great because it is easy to make many different variations, such as black bean + cilantro or roasted red pepper. I've also added a half can of white kidney beans to give it a slightly different taste with a smooth as silk consistency.
