Homemade Garlic Chive Hummus {No Tahini} has great flavor and a smooth texture that is excellent with cut vegetables, tortilla chips or as a sandwich spread.
Homemade Garlic Chive Hummus No Tahini is a wonderful afternoon snack, whether for the kids after they arrive home from school or a quick pick-me-up at the office. It’s easy to make, saves money and you get to choose your ingredients. If you’re looking for a healthy spread for a sandwich, this is just the ticket!
When shopping at the health food store, I always check the distressed produce basket for money-saving deals. Last night, I found organic chives. I wasn’t sure what I would put them in, but since I can’t seem to get them to grow in my garden, I tossed them in the shopping cart. Homemade Garlic Chive Hummus No Tahini was a perfect fit for this bargain find. You might be wondering, why can’t I grow something as simple as chives? Caring for my garden is a challenge: my family lives in a rural area where chipmunks and rabbits hungrily feast on some of my produce long before I can harvest it.
When buying pre-packaged organic hummus, you’ll often spend $4 to $5 on a 10 oz. container. If you buy organic canned garbanzo beans, blend and add your own spices, you’ll probably only spend half that price. I like to double the recipe to save time in the kitchen. If you make your own Homemade Garlic Chive Hummus then store it in a covered glass bowl, you’ll also save the resources required to produce packaging material.
This recipe goes great with:
- Curry Meatballs
- 12 Minute Chicken Wings
- With a cold glass of Keifer Soda
- Don’t forget to try Five Ingredient Brownies for dessert
