Ingredients
- ⅓ cup smooth tahini*
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1½ cups cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 5 tablespoons water or as needed to blend
- Paprika red pepper flakes, and/or fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
- Combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt in a high-speed blender. Blend the mixture until it achieves a creamy, smooth texture, using the blender baton to assist and adding water gradually to reach the desired consistency.
- Once the hummus is thoroughly blended and smooth, transfer it to a serving plate. Enhance its presentation by sprinkling paprika, red pepper flakes, and/or fresh parsley over the top. Serve with warm pita bread and a variety of fresh vegetables, as preferred.
Notes
My preferred tahini brands are Cedar’s, Seed + Mill, and Soom.
