Notes
Tip: Feel free to customize the dips by adding herbs like parsley or cilantro for garnish or additional flavor.
For the best flavor, allow the hummus dips to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld perfectly.
If you’re looking for a healthier option, feel free to substitute tahini with a little extra olive oil or Greek yogurt for a creamy base. You can also experiment with spices and add-ins, like cumin or lemon zest, to customize each dip.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Simply give them a good stir before serving again.
