Classic Hummus.
If you’ve never made hummus, you don’t know what you’re missing. Store bought hummus pales in comparison. This took me about 3 minutes to make. It tastes unbelievably good and can be used as a dip, sandwich spread… whatever! So healthy and even the kids love it! I made it for a party that we’re having tonight to serve with some fresh veggies. Chips, pretzels, crackers… they all work as a delivery vehicle π
Ingredients:
2 15 ounce cans of low sodium chickpeas (One drained and rinsed, one with liquid)
1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1/4 cup of water
4 garlic cloves, smashed (skin removed)
1 heaping teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Add everything to your Vitamix or blender. If you using a Vitamix, set to Puree and let it run. If using a blender or food processor, blend until smooth and creamy. Remove and store in a container with a lid.
*Recipe loosely adapted from Vitamix cookbook.

Robin, I love the idea of using sesame seeds since I usually have those in the pantry, but hate to it and open a big thing of tahini since I rarely use it. Thanks!
just made this!!! WONDERFUL!! so easy–i made 1/2 batch–perfection! thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tracey for the review. We loved it too!
Interesting…I make mine with tahini, but wondering if using the sesame seeds would be the same? I add garam masala to mine at the end, too…scrumptious!
Everyone at our party loved it. Very tasty!
Love the recipe, but classic hummus has tahini in it. That is one of the things that makes it a Middle Eastern
Understandable but I had many requests for a tahini-free hummus so I created this. I have several others with tahini listed.
