    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium and preservatives.

  3. 3

    Add Water

    While blending, gradually add water to reach your desired consistency. Blend until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil to your liking.

Pita Preparation

  1. 5

    Warm the Pita

    Wrap the pita bread in aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warm.

    Once warm, cut the pita into wedges for easy dipping into the hummus.
