Homemade HUMMUS without TAHINI, easy and quick, appetizer, snack or side dish for vegetables, light, vegan, and tasty with few calories.
The preparation of hummus dates back centuries and has become a symbolic dish of Middle Eastern cuisine. Various cultures claim its invention, including Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and other regions of the Middle East.
Hummus is a simple dish made with blended chickpeas, nutritious and versatile. It can be customized to suit various tastes and dietary preferences. It is a perfect example of healthy, tasty food that is easy to prepare with or without tahini, which is a sesame seed paste.
It is usually served as an appetizer accompanied by pita bread, raw vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, or bell peppers, or even as a condiment for dishes like salads, falafel, and wraps.
