Hummus, while delicious, can often be an intimidating recipe. What do you even do with all that leftover tahini?? But hummus can easily be made with just canned chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), lemons, and basic household seasonings! The key is aquafaba – the chickpea water already in the can! This recipe takes 5 minutes in a blender or food processor, and you can get chickpeas for free at the GBCS Kitchen Cupboard!
