Cooking with Sam Seideman: Basic, Delicious Hummus Recipe

Chef’s Tips:

  • Use this recipe as a basic hummus recipe.

  • Sam likes to add ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, pesto, roasted garlic, etc. to this hummus to jazz it up a bit.

  • For a creamier hummus, save chickpea liquid. Then, add a little bit to the hummus after adding your olive oil.
