1
Prepare the Chickpeas
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas to remove excess sodium.
2
Blend the Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.
3
Adjust Consistency
If the hummus is too thick, add a little water (1-2 tablespoons at a time) and blend until you reach the desired consistency.
4
Serve
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and serve with vegetable crudité.
