Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
White Beans(aka: cannellini beans or great northern beans): If you want to make a traditional hummus with chickpeas, try this recipe: homemade hummus.
Tahini. I personally do not think there is a suitable substitution for tahini. You can grind your own sesame seeds in a Vitamix or food processor to make tahini if you have some on hand.
Olive Oil. Avocado or canola oil can be used in place of olive oil.
Lemon Juice. Fresh or bottled lemon juice both work well in this recipe.
Minced garlic. Freshly roasted garlic is an amazing substitution for jarred minced garlic. You can also substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder for the 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
Store/FreezeStore in an airtight container (preferably glass) in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw slowly in the refrigerator or on the counter - do not microwave.
