BEST Hummus Recipe

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
• 0.33 cup smooth tahini (recommend brands like Cedar's, Seed + Mill, or Soom)
• 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (plus more to taste)
• 1 garlic (clove)
• 0.5 tsp sea salt
• 5 tbsp water (or as needed to reach desired consistency)
• paprika, red pepper flakes, or fresh parsley (for garnish)
• warm pita bread or veggies (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt into a high-speed blender.

2. 2

   Blend until very smooth, using the blender baton to assist if necessary. Add water gradually as needed to achieve a light, fluffy, and creamy consistency.

3. 3

   Transfer the hummus to a serving plate or bowl. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, paprika, red pepper flakes, and/or fresh parsley.

4. 4

   Serve immediately with warm pita bread or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If using a food processor instead of a high-speed blender, you may need to process for a few minutes longer to achieve the same level of smoothness.
