Creamy hummus served in a classic brown dish, surrounded by Lebanese bread.

Homemade Hummus -5 minutes hummus

This easy homemade 5 minutes hummus recipe is a creamy and authentic Palestinian dip made with chickpeas, tahini sauce, lemon juice, yogurt, and a touch of ice for a smooth texture. It’s based on my grandmother’s original recipe, simple and free from unnecessary ingredients. Perfect to serve with pita bread, falafel, French fries, or fresh vegetables, this hummus is not only delicious but also healthy, protein-rich, and quick to prepare.
