Description
This Buffalo Wing Hummus combines the spicy, tangy flavors of buffalo wings with creamy hummus, perfect for a healthier snack or party dip.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed (1/4 cup liquid reserved)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/8 cup tahini (you can omit if you don’t have, though this is what gives hummus its true taste/texture)
- 1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp barbecue sauce
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (I used Frank’s buffalo sauce)
- 1/2 tbsp distilled white vinegar
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, reserved chickpea liquid, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, paprika, barbecue sauce, hot sauce, vinegar, and salt.
- Puree the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the hummus is too thick, add more reserved chickpea liquid, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and, if desired, sprinkle with blue cheese before serving.
Notes
This hummus is best served with carrots and celery, but it also pairs well with crackers or as a sandwich spread. For a party, consider topping with blue cheese for extra flavor. If you don’t have tahini, you can omit it, though it contributes to the traditional hummus taste and texture.
