I’ve come across a lot of articles on how to make the smoothest, most perfect hummus at home. It usually involves peeling a lot of chickpeas. I don’t know about you, but I definitely don’t have time for that.

What is Hummus?

According to the Google dictionary it’s a thick paste made with chickpeas, sesame, olive oil, lemon and garlic. OK so my hummus can check off three of the ingredients. I’ve seen plenty of white bean versions of hummus in stores, especially Trader Joe’s. So I still feel confident in calling this dip a hummus.

My neighbor gave me this recipe. She’s a really good cook and has taught me a lot over the years. She has an amazing herb garden too, whereas I am pretty much a brown thumb. So often times in the summer I can walk across the street and grab some fresh parsley for this lemony white bean hummus – which of course makes it taste even better.

Tips for Lemony White Bean Hummus:

  • Buy the best quality olive oil you can for this dip. I like this brand.
  • I use a food processor similar to this one to blend my hummus.
  • The olive topping is optional (and not included in the 6-ingredient count) but it is delicious.
  • The hummus will keep in the refrigerator (stored in an air-tight container) for up to 3 days.

    This is good! maybe i had a really big lemon, but this was too lemony for me – I added another can of beans & another garlic clove, and perfection 🙂 Had this on whole grain toast w/ avocado, a fried egg, and sambal – perfect brunch!

      Glad to hear it. I should probably switch the instructions to a tablespoon amount instead of juice from a whole lemon! I love the combo you made with it – yum!
