This Copycat Cava Hummus is ultra creamy and so easy to make at home. Serve it with your next homemade power bowl or with cucumber and pita chips!
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!
