Sesame Tahini Hummus

We have this little market by us that sells some pretty epic hummus. Jaryd buys a ridiculous amount of it and raves about it so much that I had to give it a try.

Hummus made with tahini usually has an undercurrent of sesame because tahini is just ground up sesame seeds. But, this little market’s hummus was super infused with a delightful sesame flavor. It took me a couple bites of intrigue, but I realized that they doubled down on the sesame flavor.

I had to recreate it. I decided to give it a try and make my own version. While yes, store bought hummus is super convenient and fun, this hummus literally took me 5 minutes to make and I feel like everyone needs a go-to hummus recipe in their back pocket.

Listen, I love hummus. I love all dips, really. Sometimes my meals consist entirely of a bunch of different dips. A dip enthusiast, some may say.

This Tahini is:

• easy
• fluffy
• creamy
• sesame-y
• comes together in five minutes!

Other hummus and dips to try:

• spicy chipotle hummus
• corn + cotija guacamole
• roasted eggplant + red pepper baba ganoush
• roasted red pepper walnut hemp dip
• pistachio poblano dip
• garlic + artichoke dip

Ingredients for Sesame Tahini Hummus:

• chickpeas
• tahini
• toasted sesame oil
• lemon juice
• garlic cloves
• salt
• ground pepper
• water
• black sesame seeds
• p.s. this is the food processor I have!
