    Ingredients

    • canned chickpeas
    • garlic clove
    • fresh lemon juice
    • tahini
    • olive oil
    • cumin powder
    • paprika
    • salt and pepper
    • toppings: figs, hemps seeds, olive oil, paprika, peanuts, greens (lettuce, arugula, etc.)

    Hemp seeds are a unique addition to the traditional hummus recipes; they're also the main ingredient in my hemp seed salad. These tiny seeds are packed with protein, heart-healthy fats, and fiber and have recently begun to be added to many popular recipes. This pumpkin hummus is also very unique in comparison.

    The figs also offer a healthy punch to this recipe. Of course, the slight sweetness adds an extra boost to the flavor profile of this dip bowl. Speaking of bowls, you might also like my kimchi rice bowl.

    What to Dip in Hummus

    • Our fresh hummus dip can be paired with fresh vegetables, such as carrots, cucumber and celery sticks.
    • Besides veggies, you can add some indulgence with freshly baked pita chips flavored with sea salt, chili powder, or other seasoning of choice.
    • Keep it simple with your favorite crackers and breadsticks.
    • Try adding some roasted garlic to take your hummus to another level!
    • Use the lettuce to spread some of the hummus on and then add the fresh figs for a lettuce hummus wrap.

    Yes, you can freeze hummus (without the toppings). Store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 4 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator when ready to use. The texture may change a little from the freezing process.

      We are a hummus loving family here as well, Joss. I am inspired by your unique toppings (my daughter does something similar on a wooden platter with mixed olives, pine nuts, and tiny tom tomatoes as toppings) - hemp seeds are absolutely brilliant! I will try it 🙂 This is making me hungry for hummus.

      I usually make a batch of hummus every weekend as my husband takes it to work as a snack or even lunch sometimes. Love the toppings you added to this one. I've never thought to add hemp seeds, but it would make it extra filling, so I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for the inspo Joss!

        Thanks Leanne and no problem! The hemp seeds also had crunch and health benefits, so they are great in the hummus. We make a lot of hummus in this household as well, hope your hubby likes it!
