Notes

  • Garlic - Add 1 clove of garlic. That’s literally what the recipe calls for. I usually add 2-3 cloves though since I am a garlic lover. You can add a dash of paprika on top of this before serving to make it look pretty.
  • Toasted Sesame - Add ½ tsp toasted sesame oil in the hummus before blending and then drizzle some on top before serving. 
  • Sun Dried Tomato - Rinse and drain ¾ cup oil packed sun dried tomatoes.  Blend into the chickpea mixture.
  • Green Goddess - Blend in ¾ cup of mixed greens.
