Silky smooth with a bit tangy, lemony flavor, this White Bean Hummus is perfect as a side dish or salty snack with crackers or vegetable sticks. And you only need 5 ingredients to make it!

If you’ve read my Tomato White Bean Soup before, you know that I got a lot of white kidney beans, right?
As I was pondering how to use these buttery, creamy white beans, I suddenly thought of hummus, which is one of my favorite things in the world.
So this White Bean Hummus was born. Well, made.

INGREDIENTS FOR SILKY WHITE BEAN HUMMUS
- White Kidney Beans: They are creamy and buttery like no others. I’m using canned white kidney beans because I couldn’t find dry ones. But if you can, you can cook your white beans as well.
- Tahini: I think it’s the soul of hummus. You seriously couldn’t make hummus without it. I prefer a runny one.
- Garlic: Another must for me in hummus. It gives this hummus depth of flavor. I like to use roasted garlic because it will make them less spicy. You can also use garlic powder as well if you prefer.
- Lemon Juice: It gives this hummus a sweet, tangy flavor that will brighten up your palate.
- Salt: It brings out the whole flavor from the beans and other ingredients.
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS FOR WHITE BEAN HUMMUS
- Olive Oil: Thanks to the white kidney beans, this hummus is already very smooth. But if you want it to be even smoother and richer, you can add a little bit of olive oil to this creamy goody.
- Apple Cider Vinegar: Adding apple cider vinegar to hummus is my personal preference. It creates a different tangy flavor for this hummus. You just need a few drops to do the magic. A little bit goes a long way.

HOW TO MAKE WHITE BEAN HUMMUS
Making white bean hummus is just like making regular hummus. You just need to:
- Add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Taste to add more seasoning if you like.
- Serve.
It’s really to make your own hummus at home as long as you have a food processor or blender. And you can make it within 5 minutes.

What’s more, you can customize your hummus by adding more seasoning to your liking. Here I give a pretty neutral-flavor recipe as a base for you. Feel free to add more salt or lemon juice if that’s your jam.
I usually make my own hummus in a food processor. You can just a blender if that’s what you have. Just be mindful that you might need more liquid if using a blender.

You can serve this white bean hummus immediately, but I prefer to transfer it into a jar and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavor goes deeper.
I also like to enjoy it cold because it’s summer now when I’m typing these words. Jheeze, it’s already so hot in June in Taiwan.
