  • 1 lemon freshly squeezed
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 clove garlic minced

  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 english cucumber diced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup parsley minced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled

  • Blend chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, water, lemon juice, sea salt & garlic until creamy. You may need to add a little extra water to get the texture you are after. Spread hummus on a pretty serving plate.

Notes

Short on time? Purchase hummus already to go. Look for a container with ingredients you recognize.
Have extra time? Start with dried chickpeas. Dried chickpeas require soaking or the use of a pressure cooker to get the right texture.
