Instructions
1

Add all ingredients except veggies to a food processor until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of water for thinner and smoother hummus.

Wash, cut and prepare your veggies. Be sure to note the height of your mason jar, and cut your veggies 1/2 inch to 1 inch shorter than the mason jar. That way they will fit with the lid on.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Layer Your Hummus Strategically 🥒Place hummus at the bottom of your mason jar, then layer veggies on top to prevent sogginess and keep everything fresh for up to 5 days in the fridge.
- Blanch Carrots for Texture 🥕Briefly blanch carrots and celery for 2-3 minutes, then ice-bath them to preserve their crunch while making them slightly softer and more palatable than raw.
- Toast Your Tahini First ⏱️Gently warm tahini sauce in a pan for 1-2 minutes before mixing into your hummus to deepen its nutty flavor and create a smoother, creamier texture.
- Balance Your Pesto Ratio 🌿Use 3 parts pesto to 1 part tahini to prevent the hummus from becoming too herb-forward; this maintains a balanced, sophisticated flavor that works with all vegetable types.
- Finish with Parmesan Crumble ✨Add freshly grated parmesan cheese on top of the hummus just before serving to enhance umami depth and provide a salty, textural contrast to the creamy dip.
