Lemon-Garlic Hummus
Quick appetizers are the name of the game when the play clock ticks to zero. Lemon-Garlic Hummus steps up & allows a hostess to whip up something quickly while satisfying big game day appetites. A food processor provides a fast prep time. Add a variety of fresh vegetables, pita chips & accoutrements for a win-win dip the whole gang will love.

How To Zest Fresh Citrus
A little lemon zest is a wonderful way to add fresh notes to dips.
Pep up a variety of your favorite foods with this easy technique.
The Technique
Hold the microplane grater over a cutting board, allowing the tip to rest over the surface at an angle. Swipe just the outer portion of the citrus over the tool towards the board. Turn the fruit after each swipe. You only want to collect zest with color & not the white, bitter pith just underneath the surface. Repeat the process until you have collected the amount you’d like to add to the recipe.
