Hummus Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas to remove excess sodium.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth.

  3. 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. 4

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and serve with vegetable crudité.
