FAQs
You would be pleased to know that the answer is a big fat YES. Hummus is generally made from mashed chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), olive oil, lemon juice and mashed garlic.
All these are gluten free, but if you buy hummus from a shop it is always best to check the label to make sure.
Well, you can simply substitute the tahini for a small amount of nut butter, for example, almond butter, peanut butter etc. Please do check out this chocolate hummus made with peanut butter. So so good.
Whilst I think this dip is as good as is, you can make it smoother by peeling the skin of the chickpeas first before blending.
