Notes
How to Store:
Store hummus in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Hummus will stay fresh for up to a week. You can freeze hummus for up to two months, but the texture can suffer a little when the hummus is thawed. If that happens, pop it back into the food processor and blend. You may need to add a couple of splashes of water as well. Recipe Tips:
This recipe takes well to flavor additions. Fancy a spicy hummus? You can add crushed red pepper flakes or a bit of cayenne pepper to this recipe if you want to bring the heat. Add more lemon, or top with sumac or smoked paprika.
