Ingredients

  • 1 15.5 oz can garbanzo beans rinsed and drained
  • Juice from 1 lemon
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • Zest from ½ lemon
  • salt to taste
  • ¼ cup fresh dill
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (high quality)
  • ⅓ cup Tahini
  • 3 tablespoons cold water
Garnish
  • green onion
  • mini cucumbers
  • tomatoes
  • paprika

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place all ingredients except those listed under garnish in a food processor and blend until smooth. For a smoother texture add an extra tablespoon of water if needed. Top with green onion, mini cucumbers, tomatoes, and paprika.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Allow the hummus to sit for a few hours before enjoying it. This resting time lets the dill and lemon flavors meld and intensify
  • Smoother Variation: Use a high-speed blender instead of a food processor for extra creaminess if desired
  • Storage Instructions: Keep in the fridge for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 3 months 
  • Increase Creaminess: If the hummus isn't as creamy as you'd like, add more tahini and water in 1-teaspoon increments until you reach your desired consistency.
