Hummus Recipe
Hummus is an inexpensive, high-fiber and protein-packed food, yet only a few home chefs dabble in this dip. This Middle Eastern mixture of chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, and tahini has endless possibilities, so there's no reason for hummus humdrum.

Why do I have to use/make tahini? Why not just toss in sesame seeds?
You can use sesame seeds instead :)
How much sesame seeds if I don’t use tahini? Thank you.
Hi, Pamela! You can use the same amount of sesame seeds as you would tahini. Happy blending!
Just to clarify, it says 2 tbsp of tahini in this recipe, so I can substitute 2 tbsp of sesame seeds? Thanks Blendtec!
