Ingredients
Hummus Ingredients
- 18 ounces (510 g) cooked chickpeas, or 2 (15-ounce/425 g) cans unsalted chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) water
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) apple cider vinegar
- 2½ tablespoons (38 ml) olive oil, or additional water for a lighter version
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup (15 g) nutritional yeast, for a cheesy flavor
Instructions
- Prepare Chickpeas: If desired, peel the chickpeas by removing their skins to achieve an extra-smooth texture in your hummus. This step is optional and can improve the creaminess significantly.
- Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the chickpeas, water, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, onion powder, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and nutritional yeast (if using) into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients until completely smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure an even consistency throughout the hummus.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste the hummus and adjust the salt or any other seasoning as needed to suit your preference.
- Serve or Store: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and serve immediately, or refrigerate until chilled for later use. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Peeling chickpeas is optional but helps achieve a smoother texture.
- Use olive oil for richer flavor or water for a lighter hummus.
- Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor and extra nutrients but can be omitted if preferred.
- Store leftovers refrigerated and consume within 4 days for best freshness.
