Hummus is one of my favorite foods! If you come to my house, it's guaranteed you'll find a hummus in my refrigerator. I love having it with veggies in the afternoon for a quick snack.

I started eating hummus during my weight loss when I was looking for a way to motivate myself to eat more veggies. Now I'm obsessed with hummus!

This cilantro jalapeño hummus is inspired by my FAVORITE restaurant in Phoenix called Pita Jungle. After my first time there eating it, I had to go home and master my own version. I guarantee this hummus is one you're gonna be obsessed with!

How To Make Homemade Hummus

It's so easy! If you've never done it before, not to worry! All you need is a blender or food processor. Add all the hummus ingredients to yours and blend until smooth!

I prefer refrigerating mine in a container for an hour before eating, but you can also your hummus immediately. Either options works!

How To Store Homemade Hummus

This hummus keeps fresh in a container in the refrigerator up to 10 days. While you could freeze hummus, I would not recommend it. It would add a lot of extra moisture to the hummus which would alter the flavor.

What To Serve Hummus With

• Veggies - Broccoli, Celery, Cucumber, Cauliflower, Carrots, Radishes, Jicama basically any veggie you love!
• Appetizer - Serve with tortilla chips or grain-free crackers for parties or gatherings.
• Condiment - This hummus is great for topping tacos, enchiladas or quesadillas with!
• Marinade - Hummus is great for chicken and fish marinades like this recipe.
