Ingredients
- 2 15 oz cans garbanzo beans, drained (reserve the aquafaba!)
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 3 Tbsp aquafaba, the liquid from the garbanzo beans
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp tahini
- ½-¾ cup water
- 1-2 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Instructions
Start with the garbanzo beans, garlic, and salt
- To your food processor/favorite blending apparatus, add the drained garbanzo beans, garlic, and sea salt. Pulse a few times, then process until the garbanzo beans break down to medium-sized chunks.
Add everything else
- Now add the aquafaba, olive oil, tahini, ½ cup of the water, and 1 Tbsp lemon juice to the food processor. Pulse a few times, then process until very smooth. If the hummus is still very thick, add the remaining ¼ cup water, and process again until incorporated.
- Taste, and add salt and the additional Tbsp of lemon juice, if desired.
Serve and Enjoy!
- Enjoy this hummus as a dip for veggies, pita bread, etc., or make it a meal with my Greek tabbouleh or falafel.
