How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 3/4 cups raw cashews, soaked in hot water for 30 minutes
- 1/2 cup water
- 6 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup tahini (Note 1)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (Note 2)

Instructions
- Step 1: Drain and rinse the cashews. Add all of the ingredients to a food processor. Pulse until the hummus is super smooth, scraping down the sides and bottom as needed.
- Step 2: Taste, and adjust the seasonings as needed — add more cumin for extra flavor, a bit of salt, or more water if it seems a bit thick. Keep in mind that the particular brand of tahini used will affect the consistency.
- Serve: Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and top with a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: A good tahini can make a world of difference in how this recipe turns out. Look for a tahini that's light in color and very runny. It should taste rich and slightly sweet, not at all abrasive or overly bitter. Our favorite is this one. Note 2: Like a little kick? Substitute the cumin for .25 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Note 3: Flavor ideas? Try adding 1/2 cup of roasted bell pepper, beets, or butternut squash here. Substituting ground coriander for the cumin is also delicious.
