Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, cayenne pepper, and the salt to whipped tahini and lemon juice.

I divided my hummus into individual containers for Jaymz to take to school in his lunch and the rest I put in a large container for us to take what we would like as needed. I hope you all enjoy this yummy, healthy, and tasty snack/lunch. | ||
