Authentic Kicked-Up Syrian Hummus
"This Hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch, adding roasted garlic, making it my most requested, recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago and she said it was incredible. That was my oscar moment :) Even people who don't like Hummus love this recipe. And I'm modest too!"
