  3. Flavor Enhancements: Feel free to get creative with your hummus by adding extra flavors like roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs.
  4. Storage: Store your homemade hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can stay fresh for up to a week.
  5. Serving Suggestions: Serve your hummus as a dip with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or tortilla chips. It also makes a great spread for sandwiches and wraps.
  6. Garlic Intensity: Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste preferences. You can start with one clove and add more if desired.
  7. Cumin Flavor: Cumin adds a subtle earthy flavor to hummus. If you're not a fan of cumin, you can omit it or use a smaller amount.
