Description

This smooth and creamy hummus takes just 5 minutes to make! Serve with pita, crackers, or veggies for a tasty appetizer. Also delicious served on a sandwich, in a wrap, or with falafel. It’s a quick dip that everyone will love!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.5 oz.) can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or greek yogurt
  • 1 medium-sized garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • pinch of paprika
  • cilantro, parsley, a dash of paprika or sumac, or additional chickpeas to garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend or puree until very smooth. While the hummus is processing, you can add in a little bit more olive oil (also see notes below) to help achieve a super creamy texture.
  3. Serve with pita, crackers, chips, veggies, or sandwiches. Enjoy!

Notes

This hummus is very adaptable to your taste preferences. Like it really garlicky? Add a second clove of garlic! Enjoy the slightly tart intensity of sun-dried tomatoes? Add them in! Make it green by adding fresh herbs such as cilantro, basil, parsley, or even a dollop of pesto.

If you prefer a less thick hummus, you can thin it out by slowly adding either hot water or reserved chickpea liquid from the can a little bit at a time while the food processor is running.
