Classic Hummus

Ingredients

• 30 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained with liquid reserved (I use two 15oz cans)
• 1/3 cup chickpea liquid or more, as needed
• 1/2 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 lemons, juiced
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Optional for garnish: Olive oil, paprika, fresh parsley/dill

Instructions:

• Add all the ingredients to your Vitamix or high-powered blender and blend away. 30 seconds at a time, blend on high, stopping in between to scrape whippy hummus substance down to the blades.
• As you reach your desired consistency, add your aquafaba (saved chickpea liquid) as you see fit. Caution: I have unfortunately resulted in hummus soup from adding too much liquid, so carefully add small amounts at a time so you don’t make my mistake!)
• Add the hummus to a serving plate and garnish with olive oil, paprika and fresh parsley. ~* artsy *~
