Variants:

Spicy Hummus: Add a dash of cayenne pepper or a couple of slices of jalapeño for some heat.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus: Blend in roasted red peppers for a sweet, smoky twist.
Herb-Infused Hummus: Blend fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil into the hummus for added freshness.
FAQ:

Q: Can I use dried chickpeas instead of canned? A: Yes, you can cook dried chickpeas and use them in place of canned. Simply soak them overnight, then cook them in water until soft (about 1-2 hours) before draining and using in the recipe.

Q: My hummus is too thick—what can I do? A: If your hummus is too thick, simply add a little more ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Q: Can I make hummus without tahini? A: While tahini adds a rich, creamy flavor, you can substitute it with other ingredients like Greek yogurt or sunflower seed butter for a different taste. Keep in mind the texture and flavor will change slightly.
