Notes

Keep the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can use leftovers differently if you want to change things up, such as a spread for your sandwiches or mixed in with roasted veggies and pasta (check out this hummus pasta for inspiration).
Feel free to add spices (cumin or paprika) or more ingredients, such as roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, fresh herbs, vegan yogurt and cooked beets to the food processor. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
