Ingredients and Ingredient Substitutions

  • Canned chickpeas – chickpeas are the base of the hummus that provide the perfect texture
  • Vinegar – I like to use white vinegar or white wine vinegar for this recipe to get the best salt and vinegar taste
  • Tahini – tahini is made from ground sesame and provides the classic hummus flavor
  • Olive oil – I use extra virgin olive oil for this hummus to add a little extra flavor
  • Kosher salt – I use kosher salt to make this hummus, but if you use table salt, make sure to cut the amount in half.
  • Ice cold water – cold water will make the hummus extra creamy and fluffy

How to make

Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Place chickpeas, vinegar, tahini, olive oil and salt into a blender or food processor.

Blend until fully combined. Then, slowly add a couple of tablespoons of ice cold water and blend again. Keep adding water and blending until your desired consistency is reached.

Serve with fresh veggies, fresh pita or pita chips.
