Creamy Hummus

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse and Prepare Ingredients

   5 min

   Start by rinsing the chickpeas thoroughly in a sieve, ensuring to catch any excess liquid in a bowl underneath. This will help remove any residual canning liquid and saltiness. Next, place the rinsed chickpeas, tahini, the peeled and roughly chopped garlic, and Greek yogurt into a food processor or blender. Blend these ingredients together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes.

2. 2

   Adjust Consistency

   3 min

   With the blender running, slowly add a tablespoon of the reserved chickpea liquid. Continue to blend until you achieve your preferred texture; it should be creamy and spreadable. Once the desired consistency is reached, transfer the hummus mixture into a serving bowl.

3. 3

   Add Lemon and Season

   2 min

   Squeeze half of a lemon over the hummus to add brightness and flavor, then stir well to combine. Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning by adding salt as needed, ensuring a balanced flavor. The mixture should be smooth and flavorful, with a hint of tang from the lemon.
