Notes

Tips and Tricks

Smooth Texture: For extra-smooth hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending. It’s a bit tedious, but the result is worth it!
Homemade Tahini: If you have the time, try making your own tahini—it adds a fresh, nutty flavor.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving.
Creative Toppings: Garnish with chopped parsley, toasted pine nuts, or a sprinkle of za’atar for added flair and flavor.
