Does hummus need tahini?
Does hummus need tahini? You bet! In fact, tahini is one of hummus’ main ingredients, along with chickpeas and olive oil. That’s why our favorite dip can be so rich and delicious—in hummus, tahini adds smoothness to the texture, as well as a wide variety of vitamins and minerals.
How can I thicken hummus without tahini?
Almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, just about any toasted nuts, and chickpeas can all add to the hummus’s thickness, leaving you not only with a hummus of the right consistency but a richer and creamier dip as well.
Can I use peanut butter instead of tahini?
Peanut butter
Like the more expensive nut butters, peanut butter does a fine job at providing silky smooth texture in tahini’s stead. The flavor is stronger, however, so it should be used sparingly to mimic the mouthfeel of sesame paste and blended with sesame oil if possible, to better achieve the same flavor.
Can I replace tahini with sesame oil?
Our sesame oil recipe is an easy and smart change-up to the traditional tahini recipe that you can use if you run out of tahini, or prefer the sesame oil taste. Some people find tahini to have bitter undertones, so using sesame oil is a good alternative for giving hummus a silky texture and subtle sesame flavor.

It’s lovely and creamy. And can be substituted anywhere you’d normally use mayonnaise.

Why does my homemade hummus taste bitter?
Too much tahini, too much garlic, too much lemon juice or blending paprika directly into the hummus can impart bitter flavor. Also, when you blend tahini with olive oil, the oil can react to the heat of the spinning blades and take on a bitter flavor. Stir in olive oil just before serving.
Why does my hummus taste bland?
Watch the Salt
First things first. Sometimes just an extra pinch of salt can transform a bland hummus into a terrific hummus where all the flavors come together perfectly.
Which oil is best for hummus?
Olive oil makes the texture of the hummus luxurious. We also add a little drizzle to the top of the swirly hummus when we serve it. I really like using fruity, light flavored olive oils when making hummus.
