Description
I love hummus, and I have plenty of different varieties. From different spice combinations to various roasted vegetables, hummus is my go to spread, dip, and dressing. But today, after finding some tahini on sale, I decided I should make some classic hummus. This is a plain hummus flavor that can serve as a base for any other ideas, or stand on its own for your toast, veggie sticks, or salads. You can also check out any of my other salad dressings or hummus recipes!

Ingredients
Serving(s)
- 15.5 oz can Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup Tahini
- 1/4 cup Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp Cumin, ground
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Aquafaba, or water
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Drain your chickpeas through a strainer into a bowl, saving the liquid. This liquid is called aquafaba, and we will be using some of it later in the hummus to make it creamier
- Add your chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice to a food processor, and blend until smooth
- Season with garlic powder, cumin, and salt. Blend in aquafaba until creamy. Garnish with paprika and parsley, and serve
Notes
- If you don't have tahini, you can replace it with an equal amount (4 tbsp, 64 g) of either cashew or almond butter. Alternatively, you can replace the tahini with 3 tbsp (45 g) extra virgin olive oil and an additional 1 tbsp (15 g) aquafaba for a similar consistency and nutritional profile
