I am totally hummus obsessed, plus you can eat it with nearly everything.  Making your own hummus is super easy and ensures there are no extra unwanted ingredients.  I make a big batch every week and store it in an airtight container for around 5 days.  It’s the perfect snack with crudités and pita, a great addition to any grain bowl or salad and the best base for any sandwich. 

Because I love hummus so much I am always looking for new ways to spice it up a little and have a bit of versatility, here are my three favourite.

The Recipe

Simple Hummus

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blitz for 2-3 mins until smooth.

I like to serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and toasted pine nuts for added texture, with pita to dip in.

Avocado Hummus

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blitz for 2-3 mins until smooth.

Beetroot Hummus

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blitz for 2-3 mins until smooth.  This also add splash of colour to a dish and makes any plate look pretty.
