Who doesn’t love hummus?
Every time my dad comes to visit, we make hummus. His “Greek” recipe is so delicious, it tastes authentic. “Of course, it’s authentic! It’s Greek!” he says.
Having both my mom and stepdad over is a bit comical, almost like the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. My mom, the Spaniard, tries to tell him to use more or less olive oil or garlic, etc. He says: Hummus is Greek. Don’t mess with the ingredients.

Hi! love the idea of making my own but I like to use dried beans instead of canned. Is it necessary to use the canned? or how many cups of rehydrated beans would this recipe use? Thank you.
One cup of dry beans, soaked and cooked, should be enough. Enjoy!
Delicious!! Thank you for the recipe…It’s wonderful. I love it, my kids love it and my husband does too! Super Easy and super tasty!

I’m so happy to hear that!
We love hummus at our house and I would love to try this one out. But every time I make a batch of hummus the garlic tastes and smells really strong by the next day. Do you have any tips to help me out?
Thanks!
Hi Dana!
For this recipe, omit the fresh garlic and add in 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder. If it’s not enough garlic, add 1/8th tsp at a time.
This is such a favorite! I make it at least twice a month and share it frequently on my meal plans! YUM! Thanks so much for sharing! Blessings, Kelly
