The “Washington Post” published a Hot Weather Hummus recipe many years ago and it quickly became a staple in my house all year around:
1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas, drained (1 16-ounce can is fine)
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced into 1/4-inch cubes
1/4 cup minced fresh mint (if fresh mint isn’t available, don’t use dried mint; substitute minced fresh parsley)
I don’t use the salt, add extra garlic, and put everything but the cucumber in a food processor, including whole mint or parsley leaves.
Enjoy!

I have been making my own hummus for over thirty years, and in addition to being made for pennies compared to the store-bought brands, it can be made to your preferred taste and fat content. I originally started making it fat-free as a Weight Watcher’s recipe in 1979 and still like that flavor best, although I drizzle just a bit of evoo in occasionally. Lots of garlic, fresh parsley, and lemon for me. Or try artichokes (packed in water), roasted red pepper, or carrots. A hummus sandwich on whole wheat with thinly sliced cukes, sprouts, tomatoes, and paper thin red onion is insane!
