How Do You Make Creamier Hummus?

Aquafaba, the liquid from a can of chickpeas, makes this healthy dip extra smooth and creamy. We reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid from a can of no-salt-added chickpeas and add it to the food processor with the chickpeas and remaining ingredients. The key is to puree all the ingredients in the food processor until smooth, which will take 2 to 3 minutes. When you run the food processor longer, you incorporate more air into the hummus, making it creamier. Learn more tips for making ultra-creamy hummus.

What to Serve with Garlic Hummus

Serve garlic hummus with veggie chips, pita chips or crudités. Add garlic hummus to a veggie sandwich, to meal-prep lunch bowls or top it with slow-roasted vegetables. This versatile dip can be used as a salad dressing, as a topping for pizza and can even be added to pasta.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
