Easy Homemade Hummus
Hummus is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that is an incredibly easy—and frugal—gluten-free recipe to make at home.
It’s no secret that I love chickpeas. Their high protein and fiber content make them an excellent addition to nearly any diet. Maybe that’s why I’m obsessed with this recipe. I love it. Smooth, tangy, spicy, mmmm. Served with pita chips, it’s perfection.
Lately, I’ve been using it as a dip for my veggies. Mostly carrots and some peppers. It’s a great way to add some extra protein and fiber to your snacks.

*I know that tahini isn’t a very common ingredient for some of us. I only happened to have some on hand when I first tried this because it was given to me. So… I’ve found that making hummus without tahini still makes excellent results. Don’t let the tahini scare you off of making this stuff!
