Homemade Hummus: An Easy & Healthy Dip

Hummus is a creamy Middle Eastern dip that makes a wonderful healthy snack or appetizer. I usually like to serve it with fresh chopped vegetables or pita chips. It also pairs perfectly with my Easy Homemade Flatbread (No Yeast) recipe.

So let’s just get this straight – I have absolutely nothing against tahini, which is a thin paste made from sesame seeds. It’s just that I don’t always have tahini on hand, namely because it’s not an ingredient that I use very often.

What I do always have on hand though, is peanut butter. Peanuts and sesame seeds are often used interchangeably by savvy chefs, depending on what they have available in their kitchens. Both peanut butter and tahini lend a creamy, nutty quality to dishes, so you can easily substitute one for the other.

How to Make Hummus Without Tahini

This healthy, homemade hummus recipe is made with canned chickpeas, natural (unsweetened) peanut butter, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Simply combine all of the ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth. To make the dip look extra pretty if you’re entertaining, garnish it with fresh parsley, paprika, a drizzle of olive oil or whole chickpeas.

Pro Tip: You can add some toasted sesame oil (maybe about 1/2 teaspoon), which would add a bit of traditional tahini flavor.
