Best & Easy Hummus Recipe

Homemade hummus is vegan, very easy to make, and needs only a handful of ingredients. But you need to make it in a food processor for a smooth consistency. If you don’t have one, you can alternatively make it with an immersion blender. In this case, you might need to add water to the recipe.

Hummus Ingredients

• Cooked or canned chickpeas: the main ingredient of homemade hummus.
• Aquafaba, the drained water of chickpeas: Use this instead of water to make your hummus extra fluffy.
• Tahini: sesame paste gives your hummus an unique taste.
• Lemon juice: the sour element which is needed for a balanced flavor.
• Spices such as garlic, cumin, salt, and onion powder. 

How To Make Hummus

• Add all ingredients to a food processor. 
• Mix until very smooth. Add more water or more aquafaba for an even smoother hummus.
• You can store it in your fridge up to a few days.

What To Eat With Hummus?
