Hummus is a huge staple in our house. It’s creamy and flavorful, as well as rich in vitamins and fiber. There are many prepackaged variations sold at grocery stores, but it’s easy and inexpensive to make at home – and you can adjust the texture and flavor to fit your preference!
The basic ingredients of hummus are: chickpeas (garbanzo beans), olive oil, salt, garlic, lemon, and tahini. Tahini, a paste made from ground sesame seeds, is a key component to many Middle Eastern dishes, and a jar of this paste will last forever in your refrigerator. Serve with warm pita bread or chips, olives, vegetables, or use as a wrap and sandwich spread. Enjoy!
