This light, fluffy homemade hummus might just ruin you for store-bought. Luckily it's quick and easy to make, using only simple, healthful plant-based ingredients. Double batching is highly recommended.
Ingredients
1 15-oz can chickpeas, drained (reserve aquafaba*)
½ cup tahini
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove garlic
1 ½ teaspoons Kosher salt (or to taste)
Instructions
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Add ⅓ cup of the reserved aquafaba.
Puree until very creamy and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes, scraping down the bowl periodically as needed. Add more liquid if desired to achieve preferred consistency, noting that the hummus will thicken up a bit when refrigerated. Will keep in the refrigerator for about a week.
Notes
*Aquafaba is the canning or cooking liquid from beans
