Why make this hummus

Making hummus at home is not difficult. A food processor does all the hard work. All you do is add the ingredients and taste test it!

Hummus is perfect for pulling out for a quick healthy snack or for packing into your lunch box for a quick pick-me-up.

When my kids were younger, I love putting out hummus with fresh cut veggies for a mid-afternoon snack. They'd gobble it up in no time at all. They felt good with a delicious snack and I felt good about feed them something good for them!

My kids are grown up now, but they still gobble up hummus and veggies whenever I have it available and I still feel good about them eating it!

Key ingredients

  • Chickpeas - also known as garbanzo beans. Use canned, drained and rinsed or make your own.
  • Roasted red bell peppers - buy a jar at the store or roast your own.
  • Tahini
  • Garlic
  • Lemon juice - use fresh squeezed for the best taste
  • Olive oil

  • Place chickpeas, bell peppers, tahini, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor
  • Pulse until smooth
  • Chickpeas, bell peppers and tahini in a food processor bowl.

Tips for making hummus
