Description

This hummus is incredibly smooth and velvety with a rich, nutty flavor. Five minutes to make, and perfect for healthy snacking!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup roasted pine nuts
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • Dried parsley, olive oil, and pine nuts for garnish if desired

Instructions

  1. In a blender or food processor, add all ingredients and pulse or blend, scraping down the sides as needed. Process or blend until you have a smooth, creamy consistency. Add more warm water a tiny bit at a time if the hummus is still too thick.
  2. Pour it into a bowl and drizzle a small amount of olive oil on top. Sprinkle with dried parsley and pine nuts if desired.
  3. Serve with pita chips, or raw veggies.
  4. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
