Ingredients
Hummus Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (for color)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2-3 tablespoons water, more if needed to reach desired consistency
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, tahini, turmeric, and salt to a food processor.
- Blend until smooth: Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed for even blending.
- Adjust consistency: Gradually add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water and continue blending until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
- Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, garnish with additional fresh dill if desired, and serve with pita chips, pita bread, or assorted cut vegetables.
Notes
- If you prefer a thinner hummus, add more water gradually until the texture suits your taste.
- For extra lemon flavor, sprinkle some lemon zest on top before serving.
- Turmeric is optional but adds a lovely golden color and subtle flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This hummus is naturally gluten free and vegetarian.
