I don’t know about you, but hummus is probably my love language. And if you’re reading this, it’s probably yours too. Today I wanted to combine two of my favourite things. A greek salad and garlicky hummus.
What is hummus made of?
Hummus is made of simple, wholesome ingredients including chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed paste), fresh lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and cumin. These ingredients blend together to create a creamy and nutritious dip that’s perfect for snacks and meals.
Why is my hummus grainy?
Grainy hummus can result from undercooked chickpeas or insufficient blending. To achieve a smoother texture, use well-cooked chickpeas and blend the mixture for a longer time. Adding a bit of ice-cold water while blending can also help create a super creamy texture. I love this method the most.
Can you make hummus without a food processor?
Yes, you can make hummus without a food processor. Use a blender or an immersion blender for a smooth consistency. However, I would recommend a high-quality food processor or blender for the best results. When comparing my Vitamix to my Breville Food Processor, I mush prefer my food processor. Alternatively, you can mash the ingredients by hand using a fork or potato masher for a chunkier texture if this is more your thing.
