Notes
- Store hummus in an airtight container refrigerated up to one week or freeze up to three months; thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Make ahead by preparing one to two days in advance and keep chilled until ready to serve.
- For a creamier texture, consider adding aquafaba (chickpea cooking liquid) in place of some olive oil.
