Cuisine: Mediterranean
Servings: 6 people
Author: Jen Talley

Ingredients

  • 1 15.5 ounces can of garbanzo beans / chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup water (may need ¼ to ½ cup)
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Optional Garnish

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon parprika
  • parsley

Instructions

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  • Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, water and salt to a high powered blender (Vitamix) or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Keep refrigerated and use in four days.
  • Top with optional garnish before serving (paprika, olive oil and parsley).

Notes

Tips:
  • Do not replace the fresh lemon juice with bottled lemon juice. It will not be as fresh and tasty.
  • If you don't have a high powered blender like a Vitamix and you are having a hard time getting your hummus to become smooth then you may need to simmer the chickpeas in a little water before adding them to your blender or food processor. Rinse them in cold water until they are completely cool.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
Dairy Free and Gluten Free: this recipe is naturally dairy and gluten free, but always check your ingredients to make sure.
