Lemon Garlic Hummus
This Lemon Garlic Hummus is a fresh, flavorful, and super easy homemade hummus recipe you’ll want to make weekly! If you’ve never made hummus at home before, it literally couldn’t be easier. You simply toss all the ingredients into a food processor and turn it on! I’ve already posted tasty recipes for Ranch Hummus, Chocolate Hummus, and Buffalo Wing Hummus, so I thought it was time for a more traditional flavor. I love lemony hummus, so this lemon garlic hummus with basil is right up my alley. I think you’ll love it too!
To lighten up this hummus recipe, I used Greek yogurt rather than the traditional tahini (sesame paste). It gives this hummus a nice, creamy texture that works perfectly as a dip for veggies or as a sandwich spread. Plus, each ¼ cup serving is just 80 calories or ZERO WW Points.

I just finished making a batch, and it is delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe!
I’ve never made my own hummus and decided to give it a try because I am on weight watchers and it is zero points. I loved this recipe and my 6 year old daughter did too. Thank you I enjoy your blog!
How long should this hummus last in the fridge?
I and my family both hate boiled food because it’s bland but if it comes with a sauce, it’s delicious. I tried this sauce recipe and found it very tasty.
