HOW TO MAKE HUMMUS _ healthy & easy hummus recipe

When it comes to healthy snacks .

I love hummus .

Not only is it the perfect dip , but it's delicious in sandwiches and wraps and a variety of other recipes .

So today I've partnered with vitamins to show you how easy it is to make your own homemade hummus so that you never have to buy it from the store again .

Let's dive in .

I make this hummus from canned organic chickpeas as it's faster .

But if you'd like to soak fresh chickpeas overnight , that's fine as well .

The important thing is to strain the chickpeas and keep the leftover liquid , which is also known as Aquafaba because we'll use that again in a little bit .

So add both cans of chickpeas to your blender along with a half a cup of Tahini .

If you've never used Tahini before , it's simply ground sesame seeds , but it adds that wonderful creamy and nutty flavor to hummus .

After that , you'll add the juice of two fresh lemons and I just squeeze these through my hands to catch the seeds when it comes to adding garlic .

I find that two cloves gives you your basic hummus flavor .

But if you'd like a more garlicky hummus , of course , feel free to add more .

And the great thing is you don't have to mince the cloves , just peel them and toss them in the blender .

Next , you'll add a quarter cup of olive oil , a teaspoon of cumin and a pinch or two of kosher salt .

Lastly add some of that reserved Aquafaba .

I start with a third of a cup .

But if you'd like a thinner consistency , feel free to add more , then blend it all together and use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades just as you would in making a nut butter .

About 30 seconds later , you'll have super smooth and creamy hummus .

Place a few spoonfuls of the hummus onto a plate and use the back of your spoon to create a little swoosh or well in the hummus .

Then drizzle a little olive oil and Sprinkle paprika and fresh parsley .

After you taste this , I think you'll agree that it's the most delicious hummus and one that I'm sure you'll make again and again .
