Love garlic and hummus! How long will this last in the fridge

I love hummus and make it all the time. In the small town I live in I don't have access to tahini so I make mine without. I have also done a version of hummus with peanut butter to make it more of a dessert type hummus.

LOVE homemade hummus. None of the store brands I've ever tried come close. Just a tip...if you don't have tahini, substitute dark sesame oil, which is a lot easier to find.
