How to Make Hummus from Scratch
Step 1: Start with a Basic Hummus Recipe
To make a stunning display of eye-catching dips, start with our basicGarlic Hummus recipe. Canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and olive oil make a creamy base for each hummus. Then add roasted veggies and/or fresh herbs to get the colors you want. Take your rainbow to the next level and present your hummus spread with colorful crudités, such as fresh rainbow carrots, sliced bell peppers, crisp cucumbers, colorful cauliflower and radishes for dipping.
Step 2: Add Vegetables for a Healthy Pop of Color
To Make Orange Hummus:Add a jar of roasted red peppers for orange hummus. Just make sure to thoroughly dry the peppers before adding them to the food processor so you don’t end up with a runny dip.
To Make Pink Hummus:For a bright and fun pink hummus, add roasted beets. The trick here is to look for very deep purple beets; anything lighter will result in a duller pink than the vibrant color you see here.Get the recipe for Roasted Beet Hummus.
To Make Green Hummus:Add avocado for extra creaminess plus fresh cilantro for a bright green hue. One cup of cilantro may seem like a lot, but trust us-this will make the color and flavors shine through!Get the recipe for Avocado Hummus.
