Chef's Note

If you do not have fresh dill, try any of these delicate herbs: basil, mint, parsley, chives, tarragon, or a combination! If you can't find fresh fava beans, using frozen works well, just make sure they are peeled or peel them yourself by blanching & shocking them. Store leftover fava bean hummus in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.This fava bean hummus blends creamy fava beans with tahini and garlic for a smooth, savory spread. Fresh dill adds brightness and beneficial phytonutrients. This combination of ingredients creates a vibrant, nutrient‑rich dip that supports overall wellness and brings a fresh twist to traditional hummus.
