Notes

  • Skip Tahini: Make this kidney bean hummus without tahini. For extra creaminess, replace the tahini with an equal amount of cashew nut butter.
  • Oil-free option: Skip the olive oil and make this red bean dip without oil and tahini. You can add oil-free homemade cashew nut butter for a creamy flavor.
  • Make it spicy: Add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes along with salt to make this dip spicy. You can also add a few drops of hot sauce or sriracha for an extra kick.
  • Make ahead: You can make this red bean hummus ahead and store it in the fridge for 7 days. Skip the garnishes. Garnish only when ready to serve.
