Ingredient Notes
- canned chickpeas - Canned chickpeas are much more convenient. All you need to do is drain and rinse them before adding them to the blender.
- lemon juice - I always say fresh is best.
- tahini - A creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds.
- olive oil - I use extra virgin olive oil for fresh recipes where no cooking is involved.
- fresh figs - 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.
- hemp seeds - 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.
- other toppings - Spices, peanuts, greens and more. Take a chance and make this recipe your own by adding your own unique toppings. Feta and cherry tomatoes are also a popular choice.

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.
Joss D says
Those sound like excellent hummus toppings, it's always great to try new things! Thanks for the comment Denise and enjoy your hummus. 🙂

Leanne says
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!
Joss D says
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!
