Zesty Lemon Artichoke Hummus

Zesty Lemon Artichoke Hummus - This delicious hummus makes for the perfect dip or sandwich spread. #hummus #hummusrecipe #vegan #plantbased

I’ve always enjoyed hummus, but since switching to a low-dairy diet (you can read more about that here), I’ve really come to love it. I use hummus on sandwiches instead of cheese, and when it comes to dips and cracker toppers, I don’t even miss dairy as long as I have a bowl of hummus. This lemon artichoke hummus is a current favorite!

For search engine optimization, I’m supposed to talk for 300 words about this hummus but … how?! I truly don’t know how food bloggers do it. I guess I’m just not a foodie? Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy cooking and coming up with these recipes, but I just can’t talk about food for more than a couple sentences. This hummus is yummy. If you like lemons and you like artichokes, you’ll enjoy it. Here’s the recipe lol.

This zesty lemon artichoke hummus recipe packs a big punch with the flavor profile—we’re talking garlic, lemon and cayenne pepper. It’s amazing. But if you prefer a milder taste, just use 1 garlic clove instead of 2 and 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper (or none at all). You could also use 4 tbsp lemon juice instead of 6, but may need to add more olive oil to counter the texture. After doing some Internet recipe research, I adapted mine from this one and this one.

If you’re looking for more hummus recipes, I’ve got a plethora! Here are some of my favorites from the archives:

I like making a batch of hummus at the beginning of the week to have on hand as a quick snack. Baby carrots are my go-to hummus vehicle. But this lemon artichoke hummus would be great with pita chips, crackers or other veggie sticks.

  5. I’m so glad I’ve got the ingredients on hand for this, because I need to make it right now! I love artichokes but I never thought to put them in hummus!

    • It’s super yummy–I saw a spinach artichoke hummus at Trader Joe’s and was determined to create my own artichoke recipe 🙂

  6. Delicious!
    As a lactose-intolerant (sad face).. I live on hummus. This is a great variation!
    During lent when I gave up meat I almost exclusively lived on hummus varieties (fun!) and avocado.
    I’m glad you’re official. I hope there’s enough to share

  7. Oh my heavenly! Made this last night and now having it for lunch! I will never buy hummus again

  8. Hi Nicole, thanks for this. Since going vegan last year, i’ve been relying on hummus more than ever before! My local food co-op’s deli makes a totally delicious lemon artichoke hummus that I need to replicate, and your recipe here looks like it fits the bill perfectly. Looking forward to trying it today.
