from simple-veganista.com

This simple white bean hummus recipe is great as a dip for fresh and roasted veggies, or use as a spread on sandwiches or crackers.

Ingredients

  • 1 can cannellini beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
  • 2 heaping tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • juice of 1 or 2 lemons
  • 1 clove garlic, minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, optional
  • a couple twists of himalayan salt grinder
  • a couple tablespoons of water as needed to thin
  • 1/4 teaspoon or so of cumin and/or coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon or so dijon mustard
  • herbs like chives or basil
  • za’atar (I used as a topper)

Directions

  1. 1

    Place ingredients in food processor, except water, and blend until desired consistency.

  2. 2

    Taste for flavor adding anything more to your liking…more garlic? more lemon? more tahini? more salt? blend again.

  3. 3

    Add water one tablespoon at a time to thin if needed (when using as a sandwich spread or binder I prefer a thinner hummus and will add a few extra tablespoons of water to thin it out nicely).

  4. 4

    Serve however you like! It’s great either at room temp or chilled.

  5. 5

    Makes 1 1/2 cups.

  6. 6

    Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 6 – 7 days.
