Description
This Homemade Mediterranean Hummus Dip is just like the store brands, but fresher! It has a great balance of flavor between savory and nuttiness, with notes of lemon, garlic, and tahini.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 15 oz low sodium canned chickpeas, drained, rinsed
- 1/3 cup tahini (I used Trader Joe’s brand)
- 1/4 cup ice cold water
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 juice of one lemon
- toppings: olive oil, paprika, cumin, pine nuts, etc.
Instructions
- Optional step: Fill a large bowl with water, pour rinsed chickpea in, rub off the outer skin. This helps the chickpeas blend smoothly.
- Pour chickpeas in food processor or high speed blender. Add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, cumin, and garlic cloves.
- Blend, and add ice cold water as it blends. Stop blending half way and scrape the sides, then continue to blend until smooth.
- Scrape out into a serving dish, then smooth out and add toppings. Then serve.
