Instructions

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.

Fill jars with approximately 3 tablespoons hummus, then veggies. Hummus makes up to 6 mason jar servings. Store for up to 5 days.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Layer Vegetables Strategically 🥕
Place heartier vegetables like carrots at the bottom of your mason jar and softer ones like leafy greens on top to prevent wilting and maintain optimal freshness throughout the week.
Emulsify Your Hummus Perfectly 🌀
Add olive oil to your pesto hummus in a slow drizzle while blending to create a creamy, stable texture that won't separate during storage, ensuring better flavor distribution.
Use Lemon Juice as Preservative 🍋
The acidity in fresh lemon juice prevents browning of vegetables and extends shelf life by 2-3 days—mix it directly into your hummus rather than serving separately.
Toast Your Tahini First ⏱️
Gently warm tahini sauce before mixing into hummus to deepen its nutty flavor and improve blending consistency for a silkier final product.
Prep Raw Vegetables Dry 💧
Pat vegetables completely dry after washing before chopping and jarring, as excess moisture will cause deterioration and dilute your hummus flavors over time.
