Trader Joe's Roasted Garlic Hummus
What it is
This is a creamy dip made from blended chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and roasted garlic. The roasting process mellows the sharp bite of raw garlic, bringing out a deeper, sweeter flavor that complements the earthy chickpeas and nutty tahini. It's a popular choice for those who enjoy a robust garlic taste in their hummus.
