🥣 Why You’ll Love This Hummus

  • ✅ Naturally vegan & gluten-free
  • ✅ Budget-friendly and made with simple ingredients
  • ✅ Better than store-bought in taste, texture, and freshness
  • ✅ Perfect for meal prep, snacks, and party platters

🛒 Ingredients (Makes ~2 cups)

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas)
  • 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
  • 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional but recommended)
  • Salt, to taste

👩‍🍳 How to Make Hummus

In a food processor or blender, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 30–60 seconds until whipped and creamy.

With the motor running, slowly add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.

Taste and adjust seasoning. Spoon into a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with paprika, parsley, or your favorite toppings.
