Ingredients

For the hummus

• 1 can (15 oz) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup of tahini
• 1/4 cup of buffalo hot sauce (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Water, as needed to reach desired consistency

For the garnish

• Chopped green onions
• Crumbled blue cheese (optional)
• Extra buffalo hot sauce
• Sliced celery and carrot sticks for serving

Instructions

• In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, buffalo hot sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

🥄 For an extra smooth consistency, you can peel the chickpeas before blending, but this step is optional.

• Blend until everything is well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary. Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

• Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more hot sauce, lemon juice, or salt as needed.

• Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and create a small well in the center. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and extra buffalo hot sauce over the top, then sprinkle with chopped green onions and crumbled blue cheese, if using.

🧊 This hummus can be made ahead of time! Simply cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The flavors will deepen, making it even more delicious!

Variations

• Creamy Avocado: Add 1 ripe avocado to the blender for a silky texture and a hint of creaminess.
• Dairy-Free: Skip the blue cheese for a wholesome vegan option! You can also use nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor.
• Smoky: Add a teaspoon of liquid smoke for a deeper, barbecue-like flavor.
• Heat Level: For a milder version, substitute half the buffalo sauce with ranch dressing or yogurt for a cool twist.

Pair this Hot Buffalo Wing Hummus with your favorite dippers or spread it on a sandwich for an extra spicy kick. Enjoy the perfect harmony of creamy, tangy, and spicy flavors in every bite! 🌟🥒
