Notes

My hummus isn't smooth, how do I fix this?
For ultra-smooth hummus, blend the chickpeas first by themselves until very fine, then add the other ingredients. You can also remove the chickpea skins for the smoothest result.

How long does this hummus last in the fridge?
Store in an airtight container for 4-5 days. The Greek yogurt may cause it to separate slightly - just give it a quick stir before serving.

Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Stick with plain Greek yogurt - flavored varieties will add unwanted sweetness and compete with the savory flavors.
