4. Blend until you get a smooth consistency (you can choose if you want a slightly smoother hummus consistency or a creamy hummus).

1. Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Notes

My homemade hummus has red color as I love paprika and I added a little bit more when adjusting the seasoning at the end.
