Enjoy this fun dip with crackers or veggies or on your favorite sandwich or burger. To make it smoother, add a bit more olive oil. If you prefer a more rustic texture, decrease the oil a little. -Kimberly Grusendorf, Medina, Ohio

Time 10m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (8 ounce) cans garbanzo beans (drain, but keep liquid)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove (or more for your own taste)
2 limes, juice of (or more for your own taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
cilantro (to your taste, I put a ton in)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
3 dashes salt

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to the food processer and pulverize. If the hummus is too dry, you can add the leftover liquid from the drained garbanzo beans.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh limes and cilantro provide the best flavor for this hummus. If you can't find fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but use only half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas: Overcooked chickpeas will make your hummus grainy. Cook them just until they are tender, about 1 hour.
  • Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to get a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have one, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take longer.
  • Add the tahini and olive oil slowly: Add the tahini and olive oil slowly while the food processor or blender is running. This will help to emulsify the ingredients and create a creamy hummus. If you add too much tahini or olive oil at once, the hummus will become too thick.
  • Season to taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients, taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, salt, or cumin. Keep tasting and adjusting until you reach the perfect flavor.

Conclusion:

Lime Cilantro Hummus is a delicious and versatile dip that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, or as a healthy snack. With its fresh and zesty flavor, Lime Cilantro Hummus is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
