Sesame-Free Hummus


Sesame-Free Hummus
I have a nutrition client who is allergic to sesame, and together we’ve noticed that it’s actually really hard to find hummus that doesn’t have tahini, which is sesame paste. So I figured, why not just make a sesame-free version at home? It’s super-easy, you just add everything to a blender and all of a sudden you have hummus! (This version does not include oil because my client is also following a whole food plant-based diet, but you can add 2 tablespoons of oil to this recipe if you want.)
