Garlic hummus is one of our favorite snacks. My husband requests it quite frequently. It’s one of those satisfying dips that is very accommodating to many vessels. It’s healthy, bursting with flavor, and filling. It makes a wonderful after school snack. Creamy, garlicky and delicious. The dip will last several days in the refrigerator. In fact, it’s better to make ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld. It’s the perfect dip for a healthy snack, or to make for a get together.
