- 1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained but not rinsed*
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large clove garlic (about 1 heaping teaspoon minced or crushed)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
- 3 tablespoons tahini paste* see recipe notes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- additional olive oil and a few sesame seeds for drizzling (optional)
Serve with:
- Fresh vegetables: cucumber, grape tomatoes, sliced peppers of any color, carrots, pita wedges or crackers
Instructions

Place all ingredients into a bowl. Using immersion blender or food processor, blend until smooth.
-
Serve immediately or keep in refrigerator, covered tightly for up to 5 days.
Recipe Notes
- Drain, but do not rinse the chickpeas. The bit of liquid that remains on the chickpeas is flavorful and is essential to the flavor of the hummus!
- If you don't have access to tahini paste, you can make your own. Pour 1/4 cup of toasted sesame seeds into a small bowl or jar. Using an immersion blender, turn on and pulse until the seeds become a paste with the 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the recipe. Proceed with recipe by blending in additional ingredients until smooth.
