I am always on the look out for great ideas for dip recipes, and this is certainly one of them courtesy of A Couple of Cooks.
Due to a sesame seed allergy in my family I have used sunflower seed butter instead of tahini, and this can be purchased in Health Food Stores or grocery stores that stock a good range of organic and health foods.
The recipe is best made a day ahead to allow flavours to develop, although you can eat it immediately. It can be used as a dip or spread, but is great dolloped on chicken, beef, or vegetarian meals, and is divine with labne or sour cream on Mexican dishes as an alternative to avocado.
I have made it with lime juice as well as lemon juice and both work beautifully, although each will give a slightly different flavour to the dish, and you can use parsley instead of coriander as I know some people are intolerant to it (such a shame … it is the most delicious herb).
The hummus will keep well in the fridge for up to a week.
