Recipe Notes:

• No need to buy any more hummus. You can make a large supply to keep in your fridge.

• Dip in pita chips or your favorite gluten free rice crackers.

• For one container or tahini you can probably make 2-3 batches of hummus. Simply store the tahini in a dark shelf till you're ready to blend again.
