Love hummus? This one’s for you! And if you’re hard to please, say no more- ’cause this recipe puts some fun into hummus and brightens it up! Ladies and gents, I present you…(Drumroll, please): Hummus 3 ways: classic, avocado hummus and roasted pepper hummus!
Let’s start with the good ol’ classic hummus: chickpeas, tahini, some garlic cloves, lemon juice. Heaven! And you probably love its best friend, pita. But I get it. If you’re a hummus lover( just like me ), you might be kind of bored of this one. That’s why I gathered 3 different hummus recipes in this article.
So, we’re moving to our next star: Avocado hummus. Mmm-mm, gimme gimme ! Perfect for breakfast, packed with proteins and fats( don’t worry, it’s the good kind ) and super creamy, this one’s definitely amongst my favourite dips. Pairs perfectly with tortilla chips!
Okay, but you said “Hummus 3 ways“, so where’s the third one? Save the best for last, like they say- and boy, did I! Roasted red pepper hummus is something else indeed. The intense roasted pepper flavour combines perfectly with the classic hummus taste. And even though is great on its own, it compliments sandwiches and wraps really well ! Psst, adding a few crumbles of feta cheese on top kicks it up a notch !

A few tips & tricks for Hummus 3 ways:
-For a creamier hummus, peel the chickpeas. If you’re in a hurry, don’t worry. You can use them as they are!
-To peel the chickpeas easier, place them in a container with ice cold water and shake until the peel starts coming off.
-If you don’t like canned chickpeas, you can boil your own. Just make sure you soak them in water overnight before cooking them!
-Tahini is basically a sesame seeds paste. Because it is rich in oils, it tends to separate in the jar. Processing the tahini in the blender before adding the chickpeas makes your hummus texture creamier.
