Description

This creamy hummus is super smooth, quick, easy, made with minimal ingredients and tastes so fresh and flavorful.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 28oz. canned of low sodium chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 34 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • 12 tablespoons of water

Instructions

  1. Drain and rinse chickpeas in or colander with water. Place chickpeas on a paper towel and dry off. Using another paper towel gently rub the chickpeas to help the skin fall over. I recommend removing the skin from at least half of the chickpeas to help with a creamy texture. It’s tedious but worth it.
  2. To a food processor add chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin and salt. Blend for 2-3 minutes until the hummus is nice and creamy.
  3. If your hummus seems too thick add a couple tablespoons of water to thin it out.
  4. Serve immediately or store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
