Hummus is loved by just about everyone. In fact, I can safely say there is not a single adult I have yet to meet that doesn’t enjoy this delicious creamy and I hasten to add healthy dip that can be used with kebabs, crudités, salads and more. Not only does hummus taste great it is also simple to make which is great news and my recipe should give a gorgeous creamy version of the dip. Want to lighten it up a little simply add a touch more water for a thinner consistency.
Full of super foods this great dip can be tweaked to create a whole range of recipes some of which I hope to try and share with you all at a later date including avocado hummus, roasted pepper, jalapeno and coriander hummus.
Hummus is full of a range of nutrients and is protein rich. This yummy dip is great at balancing blood sugar levels and also reducing cholesterol. It is though that this dip can also help prevent against cancer and reduce the risk of heart attacks. So get those blenders out and let’s get making hummus!!!
Ingredients
1 tin 240g cooked chickpeas
1 clove of garlic
3 ½ – 4 tbs Water
1 ½ tbs olive oil
3-3.5tbs lemon juice
2 tbp tahini
¼ – ½ tsp salt
¼ tsp cumin
Drizzle of olive oil for serving
Method
Throw the clove of garlic and the tahini into a blender and blend until it thickens.
Then just add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until you get to your desired consistency. You will need to scrape down the edges a few times so no chunks escape. Some prefer smooth others coarse but either way you have full control over creating your favourite.
Enjoy!

I love hummus in all its forms, it is so easy to whip up a batch and make different versions, but classic is definitely the best!
Okay so I am going to give this a go and see if I can entice myself not to keep using shop bought ha x

Definately have a go at this
Thankyou

I can rarely get my hummous to ever come out the same as when you buy it. x

Oh cool! I’d love to start making this more often. I have to figure out if I like it completely smooth or not.
Try both and you can top with some whole chickpeas too which is a nice addition 😉
One of my hubby’s favourite dips. I must try & make it for him, thanks for a nice easy to understand recipe 🙂
No problem, enjoy x
We always make our own hummus. It’s much healthier, and you can make all your own flavours too!
i love to make my own things, like jams and chutneys, but garlic and me are no good bedfellows!
but yes please to the vegetable sticks 🙂
I really should make my own hummus. I think I’ll use your recipe if that’s ok
