There’s Hummus Among Us (Quick & Easy Recipe)

Did you try saying the title 5 times fast? It’s totally a Justin dad joke triggered by delirium from being stuck in a hotel room with three children under the age of five! I asked for help with a post title for my quick & easy hummus recipe and, without missing a beat, he said that. Seemed perfect for how our brains are working right now!

I won’t bore you with details, but until about 2012 I wasn’t a hummus fan. I thought it tasted funky, but only had tried store bought kinds. This was also around the time that I was trying to decrease what we bought in plastic & my aunt had a homemade version. I started making it, but as I made it more and more often I realized what I liked & how to tweak the recipe.

This recipe is loved by the girls and Justin alike. I throw different things in it from time to time too. It’s quick & easy to make with our Vitamix. I have made vegan quesadillas with it, thrown it on salads or wraps, and just used it as a dip. If you have a hummus recipe, let me know what some of your favorite add ins are below!
