1 tsp Ground Ginger
NEXT LEVEL TIP:
This is a great way to get introduce anyone is weary of Miso, its a strong bold umami flavor that really takes the hummus to the next level, and is vegan friendly. If you are worried about the flavor you can always start with a mild white miso and work you way up. If you are looking for even more of an umami pop try out a rich red miso paste!

NEXT LEVEL TIP:
Be sure to grab an extra lemon, cutting it in half at a strong angle, and grilling just them will make for a beautiful functional garnish. That way if at any point you feel like you need more lemon, you have charred lemons ready to be squeezed over the top of your hummus or dish!
