I was out to eat last week and I had the BEST hummus I’ve ever eaten. I’m usually all about my Sabra hummus, but this was on another level. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
I decided to give it a shot and make my own. Of course I wanted it to be delicious, but I also wanted it low in points.
After some tasting and adjusting I loved the finished product!
The most time consuming part of this recipe is removing the skins from the chickpeas. But trust me, it’s worth it. It really helps give the hummus that creamy consistency.
I drained the chickpeas in a colander and ran them under hot water for a minute. That helped the skins peel off quite easily.
This is the exact food processor I used for the hummus. It’s mini, but it works great! (This is an affiliate link. I may earn a small commission if purchased.)
