Super Simple Hummus
There’s nothing better than fresh hummus, and guess what, it’s incredibly easy. This recipe for fresh hummus is so foolproof and tasty, you’ll wonder why you ever bothered buying hummus in the first place.
The secret is in the tahini. Whipping the tahini in the blender before adding the rest of the ingredients gives the hummus extra oomph. The hummus becomes wonderfully smooth and rich.
You can use canned chickpeas for this recipe, however I would recommend cooking your chickpeas from scratch. They taste so much better. Just be sure to let them cool before whipping into a hummus.
