Ingredients
- 1 15- ounce garbanzo beans drained and peeled, canned
- ½ cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice more as needed, freshly squeezed
- 2 garlic large cloves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- water as needed
- ½ cup parsley from the AeroGarden, roughly chopped loosely packed fresh

- ¼ cup chives chopped fresh

- pita bread toasted wedges
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the drained and peeled garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt and blend until smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until the hummus is silky smooth with absolutely zero clumps. Add the fresh herbs and continue to whirl until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, garlic or lemon if needed.
- To serve, drizzle it with a little olive oil, and sprinkle it with extra herbs. Serve it with pita wedges and assorted crudité.

Notes
- I will always recommend peeling your garbanzo beans. It might seem kinda silly, but once you see the amazing texture of the hummus you'll never NOT peel them!
