    Vegan Turmeric Hummus is a bowl garnished with chickpeas, parsley and olive oil

    Okay so first of all I must admit that hummus has always been one of my go to snacks!

    Since it's healthy, tasty and you can change up the flavors so you'll never get bored with it!

    And this Turmeric Hummus is now one of our new favorite flavors.

    And an easy and delicious way to add more turmeric to your diet.

    One of the many things I love about making homemade hummus is how quickly it comes together...

    Plus the flavor is sooo much better than store bought brands!

    Some of our other favorite hummus variations are this Caramelized Onion Hummus and this Black-eyed Pea Hummus.

    INGREDIENTS FOR THIS TURMERIC HUMMUS

    • Chickpeas- also know as garbanzo beans
    • Garlic cloves
    • Lemon juice- make sure you use fresh squeezed
    • Olive oil
    • Turmeric- ground
    • Sesame seeds
    • Sea salt

    HUMMUS WITHOUT TAHINI

    This hummus recipe without tahini is super flavorful and to be quite honest I don't miss the tahini in it at ALL!

    I actually really do love the flavor of tahini but it's not always something I have on hand.

    But you really can still make flavorful hummus without it...

    BONUS TIP- tahini makes some awesome salad dressings!

    TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST HUMMUS

    If you're really into the ultra creaminess of hummus then you'll want to take the extra time to remove the skins from the chickpeas...

    Not necessarily something you have to do but it does make a difference.

    If I'm short on time or in a hurry I'll skip this step.

    When adding water to the hummus you'll want to make sure it cold water- I'll usually just have a bowl of ice water handy to add till I get my desired creaminess.

    At this point you could add a little more water if you want it ultra creamy OR serve as is with some toppings of course! Still delish!

    STORAGE TIPS

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.

    For longer storage you can freeze hummus in an airtight freezer bag for 2-3 months.

    Thaw in fridge prior to serving!

    IS HUMMUS VEGAN?

    Most hummus is naturally vegan and gluten-free.

    Although if you buy it make sure to read the ingredients since it could vary based on toppings.
