    Easiest Homemade Hummus

    This homemade hummus is my ‘magical fix’ when guests show up unexpectedly.

    the easiest and quickest homemade hummus

    I always have a can of chickpeas in the cupboard, some garlic, and lemon.

    I mix all the ingredients together in a blender and within seconds the hummus dip is made.

    I also keep a supply of baguette in the freezer for such occasions, however it is best to serve it with toasted pita bread, or as a bruschetta topping.

      I love hummus and this version looks great! I once found tahini in France but it was very fluid and oily. I prefer to add just a few drops of sesame oil instead. Love the idea of using the hand blender too!
