Notes

  • If you make your own chickpeas from dried you will need 2 cups of cooked beans for this recipe.
  • Remember - tahini gives this recipe a lovely nutty flavor but be careful not to add too much or it could make your hummus taste bitter.
  • TIP! Peel the chickpeas before you blend the mixture for an even creamier taste.
  • Serve in a bowl and garnish with a sprinkle with sumac, parsley, or paprika, and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
  • For dipping, we love sliced veggies like red peppers, carrots, and cucumbers. Warm pita bread or Baked Pita Chips are also delicious. 
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Instead of mayo substitute this hummus on your sandwiches.
