Ingredients

As always, this is just a simplified list of the ingredients you’ll need. For exact measurements, keep scrolling to the printable recipe card!

  • Canned chickpeas – This easy staple is the perfect high-protein snack to keep in the pantry!
  • Tahini, Olive oil, and Water – These ensure everything gets nice and smooth. Don’t skip the tahini as this truly does give it a rich texture and flavor!
  • Feta cheese –
  • Garlic – Minced. If you are a major fan of garlic, go ahead and double this.
  • Lemon juice – Fresh lemon juice will give you the most flavor, but feel free to use bottled juice if that’s more convenient!
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Fresh, homemade hummus tastes so much better than the store-bought variety–You won’t believe how easy it is, too! There’s no cooking involved, but you will need a food processor or quality blender.

All you have to do is place all of the ingredients into the food processor and blend until smooth. Seriously, that’s it! You will probably need to scrape the ingredients down several times to ensure it all gets processed smoothly.

What to serve with hummus

Obviously, this makes a great dip recipe! Garnish with fresh herbs (parsley, basil, etc.), add a drizzle of olive oil and some cracked black pepper, and serve with fresh veggies. It’s perfect on an appetizer board with a side of kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and pita bread (or pita chips if you like more of a crunch).

This creamy hummus also makes an amazing spread! It gives a luscious texture in this Veggies & Hummus Wrap or my favorite Greek Chicken Wrap. You can even add it to salads and protein bowls like I did with these Greek Chicken Power Bowls.

Storage:

Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy in the first 3-4 days for the best flavor, but this dish will typically last about a week in the fridge.

Tips for the BEST feta hummus:

  • Start with two teaspoons of lemon juice, then taste the processed hummus. If it needs more acidity, add another teaspoon.
  • If you like your hummus to be ultra smooth, first blend the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and water. This helps reduce the garlic into super tiny pieces that easily spread throughout the entire hummus. After this combination is smooth, add the remaining ingredients and blend away!
  • Add toppings! I love to add tomatoes (more acidity), olive oil, fresh basil, and more crumbled feta on top before serving. A dash of paprika or any extra flavors you love are great, too. The presentation is beautiful, and it adds that extra punch of flavor to really wow your guests.
  • Feel free to change it up a bit. Roast the garlic (maybe with some onion slices?) before adding it to add a deeper, richer flavor. Blend roasted red peppers into the mixture to add a kick of heat!
