Cilantro-Jalapeño Hummus Recipe Without Tahini
Report
This Cilantro-Jalapeño Hummus omits tahini, relying on chickpeas blended with fresh cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, lemon and lime juices, olive oil, and a bit of water to achieve its creamy texture and bright, slightly spicy flavor. It offers a fresh twist on traditional hummus, emphasizing the herbaceous cilantro and mild heat from jalapeño.
Description
The recipe uses drained and skinned canned chickpeas as the base, which blend smoothly with the freshness of chopped cilantro and the sharpness of garlic and jalapeño. A combination of lemon and lime juice brings brightness, while the olive oil and water create a creamy, emulsified texture without tahini.
Blending all ingredients until very smooth yields a versatile spread. The balance of cool, zesty citrus and the subtle heat from jalapeño creates a flavorful dip or condiment. It can be spread on bread, used as a dip for vegetables, or added to wraps.
