Ingredients
Scale
Hummus:
1 (15.5oz) can chickpeas, plus 3 Tbsp of the watery portion (aquafaba)
1/4 cup tahini (70g)
1 large lemon, juiced
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2-3/4 tsp pink himalayan salt, to taste
Toppings:
1/2 English cucumber, diced
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into fourths
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced
Sliced kalamata olives, to taste
Chopped parsley, to taste
Optional: diced red onion
For serving:
Warm pita bread
Crackers
Instructions
- Set up a food processor.
- Put 3 Tbsp of aquafaba (the watery portion from the canned chickpeas) into the food processor. Rinse and drain the rest of the chickpeas and add to the food processor.
- Add the remaining ingredients and blend it all until smooth. I like 3/4 tsp of pink salt, but start with less and add to taste.
- Spread out the hummus onto the bottom of a large serving dish – I used a 9-inch pie dish.
- Dice up the toppings and sprinkle over the hummus base.
- Pairs best with warm pita bread, but crackers are also delicious with it!
