Frequently Asked Questions About Hummus Sauce
What is hummus sauce?

How do you make hummus sauce?
Blend cooked chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice and olive oil to make hummus sauce. Add cold water a little at a time while blending until it reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
What do you eat with hummus sauce?
Hummus sauce goes well with raw vegetables, pita, crackers and roasted vegetables. You can also serve it alongside grilled meats or use it as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
How is hummus sauce different from hummus?
Hummus sauce is generally thinner than hummus and is made to drizzle or dip into. The ingredients are often much the same; extra water or lemon juice can loosen hummus into a sauce.
How do you thin hummus sauce?
Thin hummus sauce by blending in cold water a little at a time. Add lemon juice instead if you want a brighter flavor, and check the texture as you go so the sauce does not become too runny.
How long does homemade hummus sauce last in the fridge?
Homemade hummus sauce usually keeps for 3–4 days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Use a clean spoon when serving and avoid leaving it at room temperature for extended periods.
Can you freeze hummus sauce?
Yes, hummus sauce can be frozen, though it may separate or become less smooth after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, then stir or blend it before serving.
Can hummus sauce be used as a salad dressing?
Yes, hummus sauce works as a creamy salad dressing. Thin it with a little cold water or lemon juice so it coats leaves evenly; it also pairs well with grain-based salads.
Can you put hummus sauce on pasta?
Yes, hummus sauce can coat pasta for a quick creamy dish. Stir it into warm, cooked pasta off the heat and loosen it with a splash of pasta water; boiling the sauce can make its texture separate.
Can you heat hummus sauce?
Yes, you can warm hummus sauce gently, but avoid boiling it. High heat can make the oil separate and the texture less smooth, so warm it briefly and stir before serving.

What is Hummus Sauce?
Hummus sauce is a smooth, spoonable take on hummus, made from chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon and olive oil. It draws on the chickpea-and-sesame dip tradition of the Levant and wider Middle East, while its looser texture makes it easy to drizzle or spread.
Its flavour is savoury and nutty, with a bright lemon tang; the texture can be silky or slightly grainy. Serve it as a dip with vegetables or flatbread, spread it in sandwiches and wraps, or spoon it over roasted vegetables and grain bowls. It brings plant protein and fibre, along with fat from tahini and olive oil. For a lighter meal, use a modest amount and pair it with plenty of fresh vegetables.
