White beans or navy beans work ok.

I am allergic to chicpeas. Can anyother bean be used to make hummus?

You can totally make it without tahini, just make sure you use smoked paprika because the tahini adds a smokey flavor that will be lost.

Darya, do you think this recipe would be good without the tahini (or maybe something could be substituted for it)? I’m allergic to sesame seeds, but love hummus and have been looking for a good recipe.

Thanks for the olive oil tip. Any recommendations for a really good extra virgin olive oil?

I just made this and it is sooo good! I am new to your website and new to learning healthy ways to eat. I am giving up processed foods and learning to eat whole, clean, foods. Thank you for your help!

Don’t worry, tahini is so oily the consistency is virtually the same in the fridge. Glad you found Summer Tomato!

I was afraid you were going to use the b word:) Tahini is such a pain to deal with at room temp, I can only imagine the fun I will have out of the fridge. The things we do for great taste. Thanks for the great info and the responses!

P.S. I found or at least became reacquainted with your site from Kevin Roses plug on his podcast Random with Tim Ferriss.

Hmmm. I always refrigerate my tahini and my peanut butter (I get the natural oily kind). I’d definitely recommend it to prevent bacterial growth, particularly in warmer months.
