Kimchi-Sesame Hummus

Recipe Description

This Kimchi-Sesame Hummus recipe is a fun new twist on a classic Middle Eastern appetizer. Classic is great (you might put together a hummus masabacha), but sometimes I like switching things up. And this Korean-inspired hummus just fits the bill. In this recipe, kimchi gets blended into the hummus to add a flavorful kick and probiotic goodness. It is delicious, healthy, and beyond simple to make.

Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Feel free to adjust the hummus by adding more garlic, rice vinegar, kimchi or salt as needed. Serve the hummus topped with a little chopped kimchi, sliced green onions, and lots of raw vegetables, or just keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for snacking. Enjoy!

To make the Kimchi-Sesame Hummus, you will need the following ingredients:

La receta de Hummus de Kimchi-Sésamo es simplemente excepcional. La primera vez que lo hice, mi familia quedó impresionada. A mis hijos les encantó el sabor picante y fresco. Lo serví con vegetales crudos y fue un éxito. Es tan fácil de hacer y lleno de nutrientes. Definitivamente lo haré otra vez pronto.

I absolutely loved making this Kimchi-Sesame Hummus. It's a creative twist on the classic that my family enjoyed at our last game night. The fusion of flavors makes it fun to eat. I even added a bit more garlic since we like it strong. This will be a regular for us now.
