Lemon Basil Hummus

Hummus makes a great dip for pretzels and raw veggies. It also makes a pretty good sandwich spread. This was my first attempt at making hummus, and I was pretty pleased with the results and with how simple it was to make. Many hummus recipes call for tahini, or sesame seed paste. This one does not, but I still think it's delicious!
*Update: After sitting, the garlic in this hummus gets a lot stronger. If you're not a big garlic fan, I suggest using less or even using garlic powder so you just use a tiny bit.
