Christina's Notes
- Use Good Quality Tahini: The flavor of tahini significantly impacts the final hummus. Look for a smooth, creamy tahini without a bitter aftertaste.
- Taste and Adjust Seasoning: After blending, taste the hummus and adjust the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and other spices to your liking.
- Warm Chickpeas (Optional): Using slightly warm chickpeas can result in a smoother hummus.
- Drizzle Generously with Olive Oil: A good quality drizzle of olive oil adds flavor and richness when serving.
- Serve at Room Temperature: Serve hummus at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Toppings add visual appeal and another layer of flavor and texture. Try sesame seeds, avocado slices or chopped red onion.
- Make a Big Batch: Hummus is great for snacking and meal prepping, so don't hesitate to make a larger batch if you enjoy it frequently.
- Texture: Hummus can be made smooth and spreadable to use it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. You can also make a thick hummus with chunks of avocado.
- Serve this Recipe With: Serve with Easy Chunky Guacamole, homemade pita chips or veggie chips, or Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
