Classic Hummus

 

Our classic hummus recipe! We love dipping crunchy vegetables into it, spreading it onto crackers or a crusty bread, dolloping it on top of of a Buddah bowl or using it as a side with a lunch time salad.

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (add more to taste, if needed)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 ice cubes

Instructions

To make the humus:  Add chickpeas to a food processor and pulse for 2-3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.  The texture will be dry - that's okay.  Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and sea salt.  Blend for about 3 minutes.  Add the ice cubes and continue blending for 3 more minutes , until the hummus is smooth.  Taste and add additional tahini, lemon juice, or salt if needed.
