Overall, I thought this hummus was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I wasn't a big fan of the texture of this hummus. It was a bit too grainy for my taste.

I found this hummus to be a bit too bland. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

This hummus is a bit more time-consuming to make than traditional hummus, but it's worth it. The extra effort results in a more flavorful and satisfying dip.

This hummus is a great way to use up leftover lentils. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional hummus, since it's made with lentils instead of chickpeas.
