Hummus (Oil-Free!)
This oil-free hummus uses canned garbanzo beans, aquafaba from the can, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, and cumin to create a smooth, creamy dip without olive oil. Aquafaba adds body and helps achieve a fluffy texture, while tahini provides richness. The blended ingredients yield a bright, nutty spread that can be customized with toppings or flavor variations.

- Adjust the amount of tahini to control hummus thickness and flavor intensity.
