Transfer hummus to a bowl, cover, and chill or serve immediately. If desired, garnish with chopped tomatoes, olives, minced parsley, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

- This versatile dip can also be used as a spread for sandwiches, burgers, and wraps, or even as an alternative spread to avocado toast.
- Cannellini or Great Northern beans are both options for the white beans in this recipe. If desired, you can use all white beans instead of a mixture of white and cannellini beans.
