This easy hummus from Josephine Devereaux Piro of Easton, Pennsylvania is flavored with garlic and lemon, but has a delicious nuttiness from tahini. “I love the kick the tahini gives this hummus,” she says.

It's a sesame paste that you can find in any natural food store, and sometimes in the grocery store. I prefer tahini that is toasted not raw. It has better flavor.
