Okay, so, has anyone else tried the Tribe Everything Hummus? It’s pretty crazy-good. The inside of the package refers to the hummus as ‘habit-forming’ and it’s hard for me to disagree with that. But, I do disagree with spending my savings on $3.50 containers of hummus week after week when I could be making my own some of the time! And that is how I came to invent my own homemade recipe for everything bagel hummus, made with DIY everything bagel seasoning.
It was really important to me that this hummus evoked everything bagels in a specific way. Everything bagels have all of those delicious things on the outside – minced garlic and onion, caraway seeds, sesame, poppyseeds… I could have just added those to the hummus and called it a day, but I didn’t think that would do justice to the toasty flavor that the bagel toppings take on after being in the oven. So I decided to toast all of the toppings together on a baking sheet before mixing them in with the chickpeas.
My apartment smelled amazing that day, and I’ll be darned if it didn’t truly seem as though I had spent hours toiling over everything bagels. Nope, it was just everything hummus! So, is this as good as the Tribe version? I think so! It definitely tastes a bit different, mainly because I make my hummus with a lot less fat than the store-bought stuff, but I think it’s equally delicious. And it’s got none of the ‘natural garlic flavor‘!
I went camping this weekend (Elk Neck State Park – so beautiful) with a few friends and we ate this right up along with a sundried tomato tapenade (recipe coming soon, hopefully) and grilled slices of bread. Sometimes I don’t think there’s any food that doesn’t taste amazing cooked on the grill! I threw bok choy straight onto the cooking grid and it was SO juicy and wonderful. We also did peppers, fennel, onions, leeks, lemons, and flatbread (done in the cast iron skillet over the grates). Vegan grilling seriously does not lack in the least. Serving suggestion for this hummus, if you’re near a grill: slap a couple of sweet onions on there until blackened. Pull apart the onion into separate petals, slather with hummus, and munch.
I think I’ve just about convinced myself to move somewhere with a yard and get a grill of my own. For the meantime, I’ll stick with things like hummus that I can make indoors =].
Everything Hummus
Ingredients
For the everything bagel toppings:
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 3 tbsp minced yellow or white onion (about 1/4 of a small onion)
- 1 tbsp caraway seeds
- 1 tbsp poppy seeds (or chia seeds!)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- salt
For the everything hummus:
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 large lemon juiced (plus more to taste)
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1 and 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas (equal to 1 standard can)
- 1 and 1/2 cups cooked white beans (navy, cannellini, etc.) (equal to 1 standard can)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- water as needed
- salt to taste
- everything toppings (from above)
- 1 tbsp olive oil for drizzling, optional
Instructions
For the everything bagel toppings:
- Preheat oven or toaster oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread out all of the toppings in a thin layer. Sprinkle with salt.
- Toast for about 10 minutes - stirring every few minutes to avoid sticking/burning - or until garlic and onion are browned. Set aside.
For the everything hummus:
- In a food processor or strong blender, combine the tahini, lemon juice, and garlic until a smooth paste is formed.
- Add the cooked beans, spices, and vinegar, and blend until completely smooth. Add water to reach desired consistency and salt to taste, then transfer to a bowl.

I can’t wait to try this! Just a thought — I wonder how the “Litehouse” freeze-dried garlic would be in this recipe. Also, have you ever used the Aquafaba water instead of just plain water when mixing?
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
I could see the freeze-dried garlic working pretty well in this!
And yes, this recipe is from the pre-aquafaba days but I often like to do that instead of water in hummus now.
Ellen says
How do you cook the white beans and chickpeas for this recipe?
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
Any way you prefer, but I usually just buy canned beans for hummus.
Maria says
Made this tonight – it was Delicious!! Thank you for sharing! I have never made homemade Hummus before, it was way easier than I thought and tastes better than the store bought Hummus!
Colleen says
I am a newly converted vegan, and I have been eating hummus almost every day with carrots, red peppers, celery – you name it. Is it bad to eat hummus so often? I notice when I crave foods or eat them a lot to make sure it’s not just sugar or junk food my body is gravitating towards. Any advice & thoughts are welcome!!
PS. Is there an alternative to hummus for snacks (like the ones I mentioned). Do black beans work/taste as well.
Thanks!

Hi Shannon, thanks for dropping by my blog! I’ve tried the Tribe Everything before, I prefer my hummus creamy with fresh toppings/ingredients on it and a nice Greek olive oil! Your hummus looks divine!!!!
Shannon @ Yup, it's Vegan says
Thanks, Rika! Ooh, next time if I’m not feeling as lazy I may roast a whole head of garlic for this… yum!
Laura @ the gluten-free treadmill says
This sounds just simply delicious – and I can almost taste then, that’s how good your description was! Yum!
