Create your own hummus!
Once you’ve made your own home-made hummus the first time, you’ll be inspired to make it all the time.
The basic ingredients for hummus are beans, nuts or seeds, citrus, and salt. The typical ingredients are garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame seed paste), and lemon, respectively. With the base ingredients in mind, we can intuitively create different versions of hummus using a variety of beans, nuts and seeds, and citrus.
Use these two newly created, delicious hummus recipes as a guide to create your own hummus recipes with your favorite nuts or seeds, and citrus. – Melanie Albert
