Simple Tips for Smooth, Creamy Hummus
For the best texture, blend the hummus a little longer than you think you need. This helps create a smooth, creamy consistency instead of a grainy one.
You can also adjust the flavor to suit your taste. Add more garlic for a sharper bite, or a little extra tahini for a richer, more nutty finish. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.Â
A pinch of salt at the end can help bring everything together.
How to Store Your Hummus
Store homemade hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. If it thickens as it chills, stir in a little water or lemon juice to loosen it before serving.
Can this recipe be frozen? Yes, hummus can be frozen. Store it in a sealed container, then thaw in the fridge and stir well before serving. For the best texture, drizzle a little olive oil on top before serving.
