Humus is a perfect healthy snack that’s made with a few ingredients and can be used as a dip for your favourite fresh veggies or this Garlic Tortilla Chips. (Also it can be used as a delicious spread on sandwiches, salads or wraps! ) If you haven’t tried homemade humous you’re totally missing out, it’s really easy and much better than the one from store.
What I like about humous is that you can adjust the taste you like and make many different flavours so that it never gets boring. Humus is basically chickpeas dip made form few ingredients including tahini, chickpeas, olive oil, lemon and seasoning. For different flavours you can add roasted red pepper or for spicy alternative Jalapenos.
Homemade hummus can be stored up to 5 days in fridge. However, homemade alternative does not contain any preservatives, so you’ll need to make just the amount you are able to eat in 5 days.
