Flavor profile of Hummus

Chickpeas
Tahini
Garlic
Olive Oil
Lemon

I like a LOT of garlic in my hummus, although I will say that the less garlic there is, the more lemon there should be. I also like a lot of tahini, probably more than you find in most commercially-made hummus. Even more important than the flavor balance is the texture, though. I can’t abide pasty or grainy hummus.
