Making your own hummus is quick, easy, and will save you loads of money over time (especially if you eat hummus as frequently as I do). I’ve stopped buying tubs of hummus at the store for the most part and instead will whip up a batch in my food processor whenever I need more.
Hummus is traditionally made with a huge amount of olive oil—something like a ¼ cup! Today I’m excited to share a classic hummus recipe that is just as good but without any added olive oil.

This oil-free hummus recipe is delicious with pita chips, on toasted bread, in wraps, or scooped up with carrots and other chopped veggies. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Tahini
- Juice of One Lime
- 2 Cans of Chickpeas (aka Garbanzo Beans)
- 1/4 Cup of Chickpea Liquid
- 2 Cloves of Garlic
- Salt to Taste (About 1 Teaspoon)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Cumin (Or More If You Love Cumin!)
- Optional: Olive oil, paprika, and chopped parsley for garnish.
Instructions
- In a food processor (ideal) or high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix) add the tahini and lime juice and blend together for one minute.
- Add the remaining ingredients (chickpeas, chickpea liquid, garlic, salt, and cumin) and blend until creamy (at least one full minute).
- Plate in a serving bowl and using a spoon, spread some waves in the hummus. Drizzle with olive oil (optional) and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe is made without added oil in the hummus, although of course there is some oil in the tahini, even though it's just ground up sesame seeds!
