Make silky, restaurant-quality hummus at home using this straightforward recipe. This dip balances tahini, lemon, and garlic for a perfect flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ice water (or more, for thinning)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • Pinch of smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the rinsed and drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and cumin into a food processor.
  2. Process the mixture for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. The mixture will look thick and pasty.
  3. With the food processor running, slowly stream in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus becomes light and creamy. This step helps achieve a smooth texture.
  4. Continue processing for another 2 to 3 minutes until the hummus is completely smooth and whipped.
  5. Taste the hummus and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed.
  6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika before serving with pita bread or vegetables.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, consider peeling the skins off the chickpeas after rinsing, though this is optional.
  • If you are interested in structured eating plans, look into meal planning options available from meal delivery companies.
  • If the hummus is too thick, add a little more ice water until you reach your desired consistency.
