Looking for homemade hummus for your next grazing platter or healthy snack ideas? Whether you’re planning a picnic or searching for nutritious choices to fuel your day, this easy hummus recipe could be just what you need. Perfect for those seeking quick and easy recipes loaded with flavour and nutrients.
With just a few simple ingredients and minimal prep time, this recipe is an ideal pick for any busy person looking to eat well. Using four hero ingredients — chickpeas, tahini for hummus, fresh lemon juice, and garlic — you’ll have a creamy, nutritious dip ready in under 10 minutes, and it’s budget-friendly too.
And with minimal mess, thanks to the food processor: simply blend everything together and adjust the flavours as you like. We love topping ours with a sprinkle of nuts, seeds, or hemp hearts for added texture.
Looking for an extra boost of nutrients? Try adding superfood powders to your hummus. Options like beetroot powder add a beautifully vibrant colour and earthy flavour, kale powder makes for a terrific daily greens boost, and goji-berry provides a hint of sweetness and antioxidants.
Fuel up with: Chantal Organics Hulled Tahini
Tahini is the pantry staple you didn’t know you needed. Made by toasting sesame seeds and grinding them into a creamy paste, tahini is a star ingredient in homemade hummus. But this nut-free spread goes beyond hummus, serving as a binder for raw treats, a base for go-to salad dressings, or even enjoyed on its own. Not to mention, it makes a great nut butter substitute if you have allergies.
