Ammmm …
Rinsed and drained??? Means NO boiling of beans??? Using raw?
Me confused 🙁
Hi Atiqa! This recipe was written using canned beans but you can definitely use cooked dry beans as well.
Thank you soo much … 🙂
My favourite!
I just got a new Cuisinart for my birthday and this was the first thing I made in it. SO yum!! My husband even liked it and he’s not a hummus fan. Yea!
Oh wow, this sounds divine!
Mmm this looks delicious! This is getting pinned and then made asap.
Just made this and it is fantastic! Rave reviews all around! Thanks so much!
So glad you liked it!! And wrote to let me know. Made my night!
I made it to take to the lake tomorrow and just might have to make more as it is being consumed with speed around here! Have a fabulous evening!
I made this before from the same recipe. I love white bean hummus!! I guess it’s not technically a “hummus” since there are no chickpeas, but I prefer white bean taste to chickpeas. Sooo good with toasted pitas..
Yum! I never thought to trade cannellini beans for chickpeas. I wish we had a Whole Foods here so I could buy tahini in the bulk bin section!
I’ve been meaning to make white bean hummus for far too long. Printing this one off to try!
Yes. I am going to make this. Thank you, fauxMartha.
ammm…YUM!! I am so going to make this!:)
I love hummus. And the recipe sounds quite simple.
