You’ll love this extra sesame flavor in this easy, five ingredient Sesame Tahini Hummus! It’s fluffy, smooth, creamy, and so delicious!

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

Servings: serves 6

Ingredients

  • 15 oz. chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 – 4 tablespoons water, as needed
  • 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Place the chickpeas, tahini, sesame oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend on high until smooth, taking breaks to scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula, about 3 – 5 minutes.
  3. If you want to thin out the hummus a bit, add 2 – 4 tablespoons of water while it’s blending.
  4. Transfer the hummus to a bowl, top with a drizzle of sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
