A classic and creamy chickpea dip, perfect for dipping, spreading, or enjoying on its own.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup cold water, or more as needed
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional garnishes: paprika, chopped parsley, extra chickpeas

Instructions

  1. Combine drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a food processor.
  2. Process until mostly smooth.
  3. With the food processor running, gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches a creamy and smooth consistency.
  4. Season with salt to taste and process for another 30 seconds.
  5. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and garnish with paprika, parsley, or extra chickpeas if desired.

Notes

  • For a smoother hummus, you can peel the chickpeas before processing.
  • Adjust the lemon juice and garlic to your personal preference.
  • If you don’t have tahini, you can substitute with sunflower seed butter, but the flavor will be different.
