Notes

TIPS
  • For mild hummus, remove jalapeño seeds and membranes.
  • For extra spicy, keep the seeds or add an extra jalapeño.
  • Cold water helps create a lighter, creamier texture.
  • Tahini can be replaced with extra olive oil or dairy-free yogurt.
STORAGE
Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4–5 days. Stir before serving.
