Ingredients
For the Hummus
- 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 small cloves
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- water as needed
For the Topping
- 1 ½ cups cherry tomato quartered
- 4 cucumber diced same size as tomatoes, Persian
- ¼ red onion small dice, medium
- ½ lemon juiced
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- sumac or paprika
- 1 to 2 tablespoons herbs or a mix of parsley, mint, and chives, plus more for garnish, finely chopped
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.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- I know it sounds crazy, but peeling the chickpeas is the best way to achieve a perfect creamy texture.
