HOw long can homemade hummus last in fridge?

HappySad

Made humus (tinned chickpeas, lemon juice, mayonaise, pepper, mix herbs) and put in fridge on Thursday. How long will it last? Shall I throw it out now?

I'm sorry I don't know the exact answer to your question but I was thinking of making hoummus but didn't have any oil so wasn't going to bother...hadn't heard of making it with mayonnaise so wated to say thank you - will give it a go this week while OH is away and I want to eat snacky junky stuff!:p

I'd say it should last between 5-7 days but a change for the worse in smell, colour, taste or texture should indicate whether it needs throwing

I'm doing Slimming World at the moment so made some houmus for myself and my little girl using virtually fat free fromage frais instead of olive oil/mayo. Turned out great and totally syn free on the diet. Not sure how long it keeps though.

Well the recipe I was given was

3 cans chick peas
1 fat clove of garlic
2 lemons
1/2 tub virtually fat free fromage frais (Tesco Heallthy Living is syn free)

Take the juice from the lemons and add to all the other ingredients, whizz up in a food processor.

I found this recipe made rather a lot of houmus for us, so maybe I'll have to adapt it. Its not quite the same as houmus made with olive oil but its fine for me. If youre doing SW, I added some of the houmus to pasta with roasted vegetables and it was delicious!

Thanks for this advice.. Does anyone else agree that 5-7 days?

As far as I can see on t'internet, about 5 days is the general opinion it seems
