Ingredients
- 15 oz. garbanzo beans canned
- 1-2 Tbsp. aquafaba
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (about 1 1/2 lemons)
- 1/4 tsp. lemon optional, zest
- 3 Tbsp. tahini
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 tsp. salt fine grain
- 1/4 cup dill fresh
Instructions
- Open the can of garbanzo beans and reserve 2 Tbsp. aquafaba.* Then rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
- Add all ingredients except fresh dill to a high-speed blender or food processor. (Start with 1 Tbsp. aquafaba and add more as desired for a thinner hummus.) Blend until creamy, about 20-30 seconds.
- Add fresh dill, then pulse a few times to incorporate it. Taste and adjust flavors if desired. Add a pinch more salt if the flavors don't quite pop.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Notes
- *Aquafaba: This is the thick liquid in the can of garbanzo beans. Instead of olive oil, I include aquafaba to help thicken & bind the mixture. It also makes the texture smooth, creamy, and fluffy. Use as much or as little to achieve desired consistency.
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1 1/2 cups hummus.
- Serving: Enjoy as a dip with veggies, crackers, pita wedges, or dolloped on salads. Or try it as a healthy spread on sandwiches & wraps.
