Basic Hummus recipe with or without tahini.
Hummus makes such a nutritious snack for the whole family, I often make a batch in advance that I keep in the fridge.
It’s always a good excuse to snack on some seasonal vegetables.
For playdates, birthday parties or packed lunches, I prefer making it without tahini to avoid any issues with potential sesame allergies.
