Spoonful of Something

April 4, 2020 By Ambreen Wajid

Easy Hummus


      Hummus is kinda a staple in my fridge. It makes for a great dip, a great spread, and a great snack. You can have it on a sandwich, dipped with fruit, or eaten with chips. What’s not to love? Oh yeah- the price. I never really thought about it, I just bought it and always had it in my fridge. That was until I made my own hummus. It’s fresh, creamy, and so flavorful! Also it creates about double the amount that I was previously purchasing, for about a third of the cost. I had everything needed in my pantry already, so my only additional cost was a can of chickpeas. That means I got a batch of fresh hummus for about $1.50. Win-win.

      This is a recipe that I’ve been using about every few weeks and it hasn’t failed me yet. I honestly think that if more people knew how easy it was to make hummus, everyone would be doing it! It takes about 10 minutes and only uses a food processor/blender so really- few ingredients, a single dirty dish, and only 10 minutes of your time. What are you waiting for? Go ahead- enjoy freshly made hummus and pair it with anything (and everything)!
