Notes

Storage
-Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 6 days. If you top the hummus with olive oil before refrigerating it, you may notice that the oil separates from the hummus. Simply mix the olive oil into the hummus before consuming.
-I do not recommend freezing this hummus.
Substitutions + Tips
-You may use white beans instead of chickpeas. Please note, however, you may need less olive oil and water, as white beans are softer and, therefore, easier to blend. 
-You may also use avocado or another neutral oil in place of olive oil.
-Tahini can be found in the international food aisle, nut butter aisle or condiment aisle. 
 
 
-You can find tahini at your local grocery store. It is usually in the aisle with other condiments or in the aisle with international foods
