Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus Ingredients
Store-bought hummus is delicious and convenient, but nothing beats the taste of homemade. It’s easy to make with a food processor or blender, and you can control how much or how little of each ingredient goes into the recipe.
Here’s what you need to make sun-dried tomato hummus:
- Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- Sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- Tahini
- Oil from sun-dried tomatoes
- Garlic
- Fresh lemon juice
- Salt, plus more to taste
- Black pepper
- Water
Can you Make Hummus without Tahini?
Tahini is a sesame seed paste and what gives hummus its creamy texture. However, not everyone keeps a jar of it in the pantry. The good news is that you can make hummus without tahini by swapping it with equal parts of any of the ingredients below:
- natural peanut butter
- natural almond butter
- sunflower seed butter
- mashed avocado
The flavor won’t be the exact same, but it’s still a delicious dip or spread with all your favorite snacks.
