Steps:
- Drain chick peas, reserve 1/4 cup liquid.
- Add all listed ingredients to a food processor or blender.
- If using a food processor, pulse a few times then stream in reserved liquid to desired consistency. If using a blender add liquid to ingredients before blending.
- Process until smooth, I like to run it 3-4 min for ultra smooth consistency.
- Flavor as desired right in the blender! You can blend with pesto, roasted red peppers, chipotle tabasco or even avocado or guacamole. Drizzle with pine nuts, olive oil, parsley or cilantro for a beautiful mediterranean style presentation.
EASY PEASY HUMMUS
Serve with a small Greek salad of tomatoes, cucumber and iceberg lettuce, Feta cheese and black olives (if you are splashing out for the boss). If you want to serve it a little more spicy, then add a half teaspoon of paprika and a full desert spoonfull of the puree before blending. Couldn't be easier? Enjoy.

Tips:
- For the smoothest hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. If you're short on time, you can also use canned chickpeas, but be sure to rinse them well before using.
- To make your hummus extra creamy, add a few tablespoons of tahini (sesame seed paste). Tahini is also a good source of healthy fats and protein.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the chickpeas by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
- Hummus is a versatile dish that can be served as a dip, spread, or sandwich filling. It's also a great addition to salads, wraps, and pita pockets.
- To store hummus, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Hummus will keep for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, hummus is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, reach for a bowl of hummus. You won't be disappointed!
