Loaded Hummus
This is basically salad on top of hummus, and it couldn't be better!
Ingredients
- 1 15- ounce garbanzo beans drained and peeled, canned
- ½ cup tahini
- 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice more as needed, freshly squeezed
- 2-3 garlic roughly chopped, small cloves
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- water as needed
Toppings:
- ½ cup chickpeas dried and roasted until just toasty
- red onion thinly sliced
- parsley fresh
- feta cheese freshly crumbed
- pomegranate seeds
Instructions
- In a food processor, blend the chickpeas by themselves for 1 minute until powdery clumps form.
- Scrape down the sides and blend again until everything is the same consistency.
- Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt and blend until smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until you get very smooth, light and creamy mixture.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, garlic or lemon if needed.
- To serve, top it with all the toppings sprinkled over the top, drizzle with olive oil and serve with freshly baked pita chips.
Notes
- Baking your own pita chips is such a great way to serve this hummus. I also promise you the time to peel the chickpeas is worth it to achieve the smoothest hummus.
