Hummus is one of my absolute favorite frugal recipes.  It’s SO easy to make and it’s good with a variety of veggies and perfect for pitas and homemade falafels!

This is the recipe that I use the most.  I tried figuring out a good recipe that didn’t use Tahini but, in my opinion, you just have to have the Tahini.  I know that some people enjoy the flavor of Peanut Butter instead of Tahini, but I was not a fan of that switch.  Let us know in the comments below if you have a Hummus recipe that you would like to share too!

  1. @Cindy You’re welcome!  :)

  2. @Melanie I totally agree, although some people seem to love the peanut butter version.  I don’t think it tastes like Hummus anymore with the peanut butter.
