If you’re looking to get more turmeric into your diet, this hummus is one of the most delicious ways to do it!  Turmeric is known as a superfood, and with good reason! Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric has great benefits.
 
Turmeric also provides a beautiful golden hue to the hummus, and a great flavor!  This makes turmeric hummus a fantastic light appetizer and fun party dip for friends. Rich, creamy, and loaded with good-for-you ingredients.

Used Canned Chickpeas or Cook Yours from Scratch

This recipe calls for  chickpeas and some of the cooking/canning liquid too. I’d recommend a no-salt-added variety to keep the overall sodium content down, so you can control how much sodium is in the dish. Canned chickpeas blend great, so if you are using canned, just watch the sodium or added salt content.

I prefer making my chickpeas from scratch in my Instant Pot. I save the cooking liquid to add to the hummus. I make dried beans in my Instant Pot every week, it’s a great way to save on cost. If you’re a bean fan, then I’d recommend an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker as a way to take your recipes to the next level!

How Do I Make This Turmeric Hummus Recipe?

  1. In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, garlic, tahini, turmeric, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Seal lid, and start processing with the food processor. If your lid has an attachment you can remove to add ingredients, remove that piece, and slowly pour in 1 tablespoon of olive oil at a time until the consistency is creamy and whipped. I used just 1 tablespoon for mine to get to the perfect texture I like, but feel free to use more to suit your taste.
  3. Pour hummus into a serving dish, and top with additional olive oil, black pepper, or chili flakes for a bit of heat.
  4. Refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 5 days, and enjoy!

What’s the Best Food Processor for Hummus?

We have this fantastic food processor that has lasted us years and years, and I have to say I’ve been very happy with it! It gets weekly use, and is great for chopping ingredients for sauces, making hummus, and pureeing vegetables.  It’s really basic and gets the job done!  While you can make this hummus in a blender, I prefer using our food processor to get the texture just right.
