I love hummus and make it weekly. I’ve never used chicken broth, though. I’ve always used 1/3 cup liquid from the drained chickpeas. I keep roasted garlic in the fridge (those little jars sold in the produce section) and add a couple of teaspoons before processing. Since counting WW points, I tried making a batch with NO oil, and honestly - I can’t tell the difference.

I also throw in some roasted red peppers and use Tahini. The only problem is that I can eat the whole batch!

Try adding red peppers for a little bit of a kick. It’s easiest to use the jarred kind that are packed in water. Our recipe is similar to yours, but with garbanzo beans, sesame tahini, red peppers, meyer lemon juice, lots of roasted garlic, Sambal (chili paste), and salt/pepper of course. It’s one of my favorite snacks!!

Thanks for the inspiration. I didn’t have sesame oil, but I just threw in the seeds. I left out the broth and added a little of the juice with the chickpeas and yummy. It’s a great veggie dip! I’m eating my celery now.

Bonnie - I’m not a fan of store bought either. I say give it a try you are in control when you make it yourself.

I just made this a couple of days ago thanks to your inspiration and I used Cannellini beans and olive oil (because I didn’t have sesame). I also used almost a tsp of curry powder and a couple dashes of hot sauce. It’s delicious and gets better everyday! Thanks for the recipe, I’ve been looking for one without tahini. I’ll definitely make it again though.. perfect for carrot dipping and far fewer fat grams than regular hummus.
