Our go-to recipe has six ingredients and comes together in the food processor—no bowls, pans, or other equipment needed. We even use it to chop the garlic. It takes about five minutes to put together and will keep up to a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Plus, by making your own hummus, you control what goes in it—and you save money, too.
