Love it! My husband is Lebanese and makes a mean hummus. It makes us so happy when other people explore the food of his culture. Aside from as a dip or spread, we sometimes use it in a salad (with some oil and perhaps balsamic vinegar) in much the same way you would use tuna salad… Just scooped on top and then mixed in.
Thanks for sharing!

We love hummus at our house. I posted a photo recipe tutorial on my blog a while back. In my recipe, I don't use tahini, but I do add cumin. I think that takes it over the top!

BTW, what is the bread loaf on your header photo? It's delicious looking.

I can't get my family to eat hummus, but I love it. I'll have to make this one just for myself!

Lisa, My family doesn't prefer hummus either; I think it's best, though, because then I can have it all to myself 🙂 I could eat it every day!

This is the best! My hubby likes it as well, especially when I make homemade Pita Chips! Thanks for sharing this recipe and all of the others. Each one I have tried has been a hit with the family!

Can you use bag chickpeas? If so how? I try not to use cans…

- Jaime says
Yes, for sure! Actually, this recipe tastes even better when you use dried chickpeas. I usually soak mine overnight, then simmer for three hours or so the next morning. Use about two cups of cooked beans in lieu of the can of beans. If it’s a bit thick after you put the recipe together, you can adjust by adding a few tablespoons of water. Let me know how it goes for you!
