US Customary - Metric
Instructions
- Begin by draining all liquid from the chickpeas whether they are freshly cooked in an Instantpot or from a can.
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and process for 1-2 minutes. Blend well to allow the chickpeas to become smooth.
- If you don’t have a high powered blender, you’ll need to stop and scrape down sides and stir a few times in between processing. One thing I love about having a Vitamix blender is that it has a tamper to push ingredients down to the blades, so stopping is not necessary.
- I personally like my hummus left just a little chunky, but many people like theirs completely smooth. Process until reaching your preferred consistency.
- This hummus is delicious on carrot and celery sticks, sandwiches and wraps, baked potatoes, veggie/grain bowls, and even on toast.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
- Drain Beans- Make sure to drain and rinse canned chickpeas before using them to remove any excess salt and preservatives.
- Blending- If the ingredients are having a really hard time blending, add another tablespoon of veggie broth.
- Taste Test- Adjust the salt and lemon juice to your taste preferences.
- Storage- This dip lasts approximately 7-10 days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
- Freezing- You can freeze hummus for up to 6-8 months in an airtight freezer-safe container. The day before you want to eat it, move the hummus container from the freezer to the refrigerator. It takes at least a few hours to thaw until it’s ready to eat. Thawing can take longer depending on how much is in your container. It's best to freeze in small portions to make defrosting quicker and to have handy small amounts to eat in one sitting.
