An easy and healthy hummus recipe made with whole food ingredients, free from preservatives, gluten or dairy.
For a Moroccan inspired twist I add spices and use lime in place of the usual lemon juice.

Moroccan Spiced Hummus
Ingredients
- 400 g canned/cooked chickpeas Drained and rinsed (I use BPA free can & organic)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 2 tablespoon tahini (hulled)
- 1/4 cup garlic infused extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp Moroccan spice mix (I used Mingle Seasoning- Sahara; add more to liking)
- Pinch salt good quality
- pinch Black Pepper good quality
Instructions
- Process all ingredients in blender (I use a Total Nutrition Centre 5200 Vitamix) or food processor, scraping down sides as needed.
- Serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in refrigerator.
Notes
- Serve with gluten free/grain free crackers or raw vegetable sticks.
- Instead of fresh garlic you can also use garlic infused olive oil as your liquid component. A great option for people sensitive to garlic.
How long does this keep for in the fridge?
Hi. Ours keeps for 3 days. If you seal the top with a layer of extra virgin olive oil each time you use it it will help to keep fresher for longer.
Excellent, thank you!
