My mister and I both enjoyed this, and he tells me it's the best hummus he's ever tasted. I haven't made hummus before and was a little nervous about the amount of lemon juice, but it blended very nicely. My only change: I used macadamia oil instead of olive oil because I generally like the flavor better.

This is really good. I just got one of those mini-processors and it was the perfect thing! I accidentally reversed the amounts of water and lemon juice, and it still came out great. I love how easy it will be to remember this recipe. I'll never need to buy commercially-made hummus again. Oh, I did add a generous dash of white pepper. I add black or white pepper to almost everything, so I did it without thinking. If I was serving this to guests, I'd probably reserve a tablespoon of the oil for drizzling on top and dust it with some paprika. Next time, I might try sesame oil instead of olive.<br/><br/>Now, I need to choose between pita chips or cucumber slices.. Hmm... Maybe both?
