Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. It makes for a great snack!
  • Freezing: You can freeze this hummus for up to three months. Just thaw it in the fridge and stir before serving.
  • Pairing: This hummus pairs well with pita chips, fresh veggies, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
  • Adjusting Flavors: Don’t hesitate to tweak the ingredients to suit your taste. A bit more lemon juice can brighten it up, or a pinch of cayenne can add some heat.
  • Serving Style: Consider serving this hummus as part of a mezze platter for a beautiful presentation!
