  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

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

  1. Combine ingredients: Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, tahini, turmeric, and salt to a food processor.
  2. Blend until smooth: Process the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed for even blending.
  3. Adjust consistency: Gradually add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water and continue blending until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
  4. 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.
