I love making and sharing Copycat Recipes on my site. My husband and I were on a Chicken Salad Chick kick for awhile (be sure to check out my Chicken Salad Chick Classic Carol recipe for another lunch idea) but recently we’ve been getting bowls at Cava twice a month or so. I love their hummus, it is so creamy and a million times better than the store bought stuff. It is such an easy copycat recipe to recreate at home too.

I’m excited to share this delicious copycat hummus recipe with you and work on a few of my other favorites from there too. If you have any Cava favorites you’d like to see a copycat recipe for be sure to leave me a comment below so I can work on them!

Begin by draining and rinsing your canned chickpeas. Next, add all of the ingredients to your blender or food processor (image 1).

Blend until well combined (image 1). You may need to scrape the sides with a spatula to make sure everything incorporates well. You can add one tablespoon of water at a time if you feel it is too thick.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

  • Use a spatula to scrape the sides if things aren’t blending smoothly.
  • Add one tablespoon of water at a time if you feel the hummus is too thick.

🥡 How to store leftovers

Store your leftover hummus in an airtight container in your fridge. It will be good for 4 days.
