Jalapeño Cilantro Hummus

April 6, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 32 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Happy Good Friday to you!!  Today I have off from work!  Woohoo!  Hmmm what to do with my day? I do know I’ll be munching on today’s recipe.

Trader Joe’s has a wonderful Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus that I just love, but they changed the calories on it from 45 calories for two tablespoons to 80, and that is way to much for me, since two tablespoons is not very much!  So I took their ingredients and made one of my own, which I think turned out perfect!  Mine is 28 calories for two tablespoons and has all the flavor of Trader Joe’s, but way fewer calories.


I didn’t add Tahini paste or olive oil and it’s creamy, smooth and spicy, all the components in which I think makes a good hummus.  The key to making your humus smooth, is peeling the garbanzo beans.  All you do is grab the bean and pinch it like you were shooting marbles; than the skin comes right off.  I gotten so good at peeling them, that it takes me no time to do one can, but I will admit it’s a pain in the butt to do, but well worth it in the end.  It’s as creamy as whipped mashed potatoes.

I took this hummus to work and got rave reviews.  Matter in fact one of my co-workers wanted the recipe so he could make it for his wife, how sweet is that?  This hummus is really easy to make and not many ingredients.  It’s made with garbanzo beans, jalapeno,cilantro, garlic and cumin.  I processed it in my mini food processor, no big ones needed.

Well my friends, I worked a pinch late today, so my schedule is messed up, and Hubby is in the garage working, so it’s time for me to squeeze in 20 minutes of kickboxing before he comes out to watch TV.

Have a wonderful day and a super great “Good Friday”!!

    That hummus was always my favorite at Trader Joe’s! Bummer about the calories. I’ve made a copycat recipe before also and it was definitely as good as the original. I’ll have to try your version!

    This dip looks incredible. The ingredients are so pure and I bet this is perfect with not only veggies, but slathered on some crackers!

      Yah I hate adding Tahini, it’s expensive and fattening! This tastes just as good without it!

    I adore hummus and I am going to save this recipe for our very first jalapeno from the garden. We don’t have TJs so I have never heard of this combination but it sounds genius!

    I’ve tried TJ’s jalapeno cilantro hummus and I loved it! But you’re right, 80 calories for 2 tablespoons is ridiculous. I’m so glad you recreated a homemade version with less calories! 🙂

    Wow! I always buy that hummus at TJ’s. Its our favorite, but I haven’t checked the nutrition info in awhile so I’m so bummed! I’ll definitely be trying your recipe soon. My 6 year old loves hummus as much as I do, so I’m sure he’ll love helping me make it too!

    I love hummus too and also make my own. It is so easy and tastes so much better than anything you can buy in the store…and healthier too! Plus jalapeno and cilantro, what a fantastic pairing.

    I love this flavor combo! I make humus fairly frequently and never tried shelling the chick peas. It does sound like a pain but if it comes out creamy without the extra oil or tahini it’s worth a try. Thanks!

      It is a pain to peel them, but it comes out like a creamy mashed potatoes, I love that more than when it’s gritty.

    I can say in all honesty that this is delicious! I also have a cilantro hummus recipe on my blog and it’s outrageous! So good! I love your addition of cumin and jalapeno.

    Thank you for sharing your recipe with us last week on AFW! Be sure to check back this week for reader favorites and hostess picks.

    Be Well,

    I just made this with my Magic Bullet (which I am still learning to use). I went a little heavy on the juice from the chickpeas to get it to the consistency I prefer. I will never buy the TJ version again! Sorry TJ but this is SO yummy!!!

      Oh I’m so glad you like it! I love it too and it was a big hit at my work party! I used to buy TJ’s too, and not anymore even though there’s is pretty good, but I eat to much for there 80 calories for 2 tablespoons.

    Just made this, but had to use dried cilantro. Mine didn’t turn green, though… Still, even before melding in the fridge, it tasted yum!

      I’m glad it turned out! I have to say a lot of my foods turn out tasting wonderful even if they don’t look like a picture or even look pretty It’s the taste that counts! I’m so glad you liked it!! You inspired me, I”m going to make some right now, but I don’t have fresh cilantro, so I’m going to use dried to!! Thank you!!

Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of Ju Happy Thursday! I can’t believe it’s 4th of July weekend already! I’m not sure what our plans are, but I’m sure cooking on the bbq will be happening. It should be a nice weekend. 
🇺🇸
I thought I would share with you the little corner in my dining room that I decorated for the 4th of July. If you do not have any patriotic decor, all you have to do is add a flag to it.

Do you have any plans for this holiday weekend?

Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we Happy Wednesday! I don’t know about you, but we never eat our meals at the dining room table. We always eat at the kitchen counter. It’s convenient, easy to clean and it’s close to the food. Plus as a bonus, we get a nice view of the backyard.
💕
Just because you eat at the counter doesn’t mean you can’t create a pretty place setting. I like creating a place setting for my husband and I. It makes for a lovely meal and feels a little fancier.
💕
I was gifted this gorgeous flatware from @inoxartisans. This is the Chantilly Flatware 5 piece set. It’s handcrafted with 18/8 stainless steel. It has a nice weight to it, well made and it’s comfortable in your hand. The flatware is also dishwasher safe. 
💕
You can dress up the Chantilly Flatware with an elegant meal or use it for a more casual meal. If you are looking for new flatware INOX Artisans has a wide variety of styles that comes in gold, copper and silver.

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.

The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.
