The fresh thyme and basil add a fresh and vibrant taste to this hummus. The pureed cannellini beans are creamy white, which together with the green flecks from the fresh herbs, make this hummus pretty to look at... and scrumptious to eat!
This dip recipe is wheat-free, gluten-free, and soy-free.

(5 from 3 votes)This recipe is delicious! I added an extra clove of garlic and probably more lemon juice. So good! Excellent reviews from my family.
I don’t like tahini what is a good substitute?
Use aguafaba (the liquid from canned chickpeas). Not sure how much to use so just experiment with a little at a time until you get the right consistency.
looks good but how much does it make?
Delicious! Quick and easy. Thank you for sharing.
