Homemade Hummus Recipe
Description
The Homemade Hummus Recipe produces a classic Middle Eastern dip by pureeing canned chickpeas with tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, and ground cumin. A splash of ice water is added to create a light, silky texture. The recipe is straightforward, relying on blending to combine all ingredients into a smooth paste.
Olive oil drizzled on top adds richness, while a sprinkle of paprika contributes mild smokiness and color. The optional everything bagel seasoning provides an additional savory crunch. This hummus works well as an appetizer, snack, or spread for sandwiches and can be served alongside fresh vegetables or pita bread.
