Notes
Peel the chickpeas - This is not essential, but if you'd like to make an even creamier, smoother hummus, peel the skins from the chickpeas. This process is tedious, but many people swear by it!
Use a large cup food processor - It is easier to make smooth, fluffy hummus in a large cup food processor because there is enough room for the hummus to blend. Or if needed, try making the hummus in a high-speed blender with a tamper.
Store in an airtight container. This hummus will keep best when stored in a tightly sealed container, preferably glass. Enjoy within 5 days.
