Homemade hummus like this Brown Lentil Hummus is one of the favorite dips for all vegans! Who doesn’t like it, right? You can easily spread it on toast, add in salads, spread on crackers, etc… Avoid buying hummus at grocery stores, it most cases they are full of preservatives and other ingredients bad for your health.

What I personally like about hummus is that it can be made very easily and it won’t take a lot of time. All you need to do is to add all the ingredients into a food processor and mix :). Yes, it’s that easy!



The most famous hummus is definitely the Chickpea Hummus. But did you know that you can flavor your famous creamy dip with any beans, even some fruits? Yes! There are so many choices, white or black beans, avocado, carrot, lentils, etc..









This time I decided to try making a Homemade Brown Lentil Hummus. The texture is so creamy, so soft, and delicious. I garnished it with ground paprika, which gave it a really nice flavor. This recipe is 100% vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and healthy!
