Hummus is a creamy and flavorful spread or dip from the Middle East and Mediterranean. It is made from chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and spices. Homemade Hummus with Tahini is so easy to make and tastes much better than store-bought. Tahini is essential for that authentic flavor. Olive oil gives a creamy richness. Hummus can be served with warm pita bread, naan, veggie sticks or falafel. It can be stored in refrigerator for 4-5 days. Hummus is most often used as a dip but can be used in many other ways like sandwiches, wraps, pasta, baked potato, hummus toast, salad etc.
