Make your own Sun Dried Tomato Hummus from Scratch for a healthy creamy dreamy snack!
I love snacking. I would so much rather eat a ton of delicious appetizers all night than one big meal. Committing to a whole plate / dish is just way too limiting, am I right? Which is why I love snacks from scratch, especially ones like this hummus.
I could eat hummus every day with any kind of raw vegetable, cracker, chip, or baguette slice you throw at me. Even better, there are so many varieties of hummus! And once we started making our own Tahini from scratch, it’s just taken our hummus to the next level. 
This hummus though, no tahini required. Why? Because I didn’t have any made. Or any sesame seeds to make some because making tahini is soooo fast and easy! So I used sesame oil instead, which was just as delicious. That with plenty of garlic and some of our home grown sun dried tomatoes from scratch and with or without tahini, we had ourselves hummus. Also, I find to get the creamiest of creamy hummus, using the all-knowing Alton Brown’s method of slow cooking the chickpeas, is the best. 
We brought this uber creamy, delicious, from scratch hummus to a lovely leisurely Saturday afternoon lunch with our favorite vegans. It made a delicious appetizers with some fresh carrots and homemade baguette slices.
It would also be super tasty with some vegan friendly spelt crackers! Or for the future non-vegan football parties in your life, serve them with some From Scratch Ritz Crackers, Pita Chips, or tortilla chips!

I could eat hummus everyday too! Yours looks so smooth and creamy.
Thank you so much!
I am a hummus fanatic! Love this combo!! Looks beautiful and delicious!
Me too! Thank you so much!
I love the flavour of hummus but always find the colour a little un-appetising. That’s why i love this recipe as those tomatoes turn the colour a lovely shade. Plus I’m drooling just thinking of the flavour. Pinning for later
Thanks so much, Jane! Yes, some hummus just looks so.. blah. This one definitely is far from it! 😀
Oooh, this looks great! I’m also a serious hummus lover and love testing out new varieties. This is one I’ll definitely give a go 🙂
Thanks so much, Tara! 😀
Yep! This is going to be on the menu for the Super Bowl. I really don’t care about the game — I just love the snacks. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! I’m with you! 😉
Yum, this sounds so good. We are huge hummus fans around here, I have not tried it with sundries tomatoes though – I will have to rectify that 🙂
Loving this hummus! Pinned!
Such a great idea to add sundered tomatoes! I can almost taste it 🙂 Saved to try it!
I can’t believe how smooth and creamy this looks! I adore sun-dried tomatoes, must try this.
Hummus = awesome. Sun dried tomatoes = awesome. Combine them? Love this! Super snack!
Who doesn’t love a good variation of hummus? Sun-dried tomatoes yummm.
Yummy! I love how you make every element of your dish from scratch! We are like minded. I made our own dried tomatoes this year from our garden. They are amazing! I can’t wait to try out this hummus recipe with them!
