Plus, it’s naturally vegan, gluten-free, packed with plant-based protein, and comes together in just 5 minutes with a food processor. Whether you’re scooping it with pita, spreading it on toast, or dunking rainbow veggies, this green goddess hummus recipe turns the humble chickpea into something downright gourmet.

Why You’ll Be Obsessed with Green Goddess Hummus

Traditional hummus is great, but adding a loaded cup of fresh parsley, basil, chives, and tarragon (the signature Green Goddess quartet) takes it to another level. The herbs keep it brilliantly emerald even days later, while a touch of lemon and garlic balances the richness of tahini and chickpeas. One ¼-cup serving gives you 8g protein, 6g fiber, and a serious dose of vitamin K, iron, and antioxidants — basically guilt-free indulgence. It’s also insanely versatile: sandwich spread, salad dressing base, grain-bowl drizzle, or straight-from-the-fridge spoon snack at midnight.

5-Minute Green Goddess Hummus Recipe (Better Than Store-Bought)

Makes about 2½ cups | Ready in 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (400g/15 oz) chickpeas, drained & rinsed (save ¼ cup aquafaba)
  • ⅓ cup tahini (the runnier, the smoother)
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 2–3 garlic cloves (start with 2 if you’re vampire-sensitive)
  • ¾ cup packed fresh parsley (leaves & tender stems)
  • ½ cup packed fresh basil leaves (basil + chives + tarragon combo — see notes)
  • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)
  • 3–5 Tbsp ice-cold water or reserved aquafaba
  • Optional garnish: olive oil drizzle, everything bagel seasoning, edible flowers

Instructions:

  1. Add tahini + lemon juice to the food processor first — blend 30–60 seconds until whipped and pale (this trick makes it extra creamy).
  2. Toss in garlic, herbs, olive oil, cumin, and salt — pulse until finely chopped.
  3. Add chickpeas + 3 Tbsp cold water/aquafaba — process 2–3 minutes, scraping sides, until silky smooth. Add more liquid 1 Tbsp at a time for desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust — more salt, lemon, or garlic as needed.
  5. Transfer to a bowl, swirl the top with a spoon, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle garnish.

Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container up to 7 days (flavor gets even better on day 2).

Herb Swaps & Variations to Keep It Fresh

  • Classic mix: ¼ cup each parsley, basil, chives, tarragon
  • No tarragon? Use dill or mint instead
  • Spicy kick: add ½ jalapeño or ¼ tsp cayenne
  • Nutty twist: swap half the tahini for almond butter
  • Roasted garlic version: use 6 roasted cloves for sweeter depth

Best Ways to Serve Green Goddess Hummus

  • Classic: warm pita triangles + cucumber spears
  • Lunch upgrade: spread on sourdough with avocado, sprouts, and tomato
  • Buddha bowl drizzle: thin with extra lemon/water and spoon over quinoa, roasted veggies, and feta
  • Party platter: surround with rainbow carrots, radishes, endive leaves, and crackers
  • Breakfast move: dollop on toast with sliced hard-boiled egg and chili crisp

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

This is the ultimate prep-friendly recipe. Make a double batch Sunday night — it stays vividly green and delicious all week. Store in glass containers to prevent oxidation. Freeze in 1-cup portions up to 3 months; thaw overnight in fridge and stir well.
