Hummus [Vitamix ONE]

Our version of this Middle-Eastern dip contains chickpeas, garlic, and raw sesame seeds. It's traditionally served with flatbread, but crackers and tortilla chips are great, too.

Chef's Notes

This recipe makes quick work of the chickpeas to create a smooth creamy hummus. Make this hummus your own by adding roasted red peppers, hot sauce, or spices you enjoy.
