- 2 tbsp water

Recipe tips
Leftover hummus can be covered and kept in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you do have a food processor, you can tip all the ingredients in together and pulse until smooth. If you are making small batches you'll need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times to make sure everything is combined.
