I love hummus, and I have plenty of different varieties. From different spice combinations to various roasted vegetables, hummus is my go to spread, dip, and dressing. But today, after finding some tahini on sale, I decided I should make some classic hummus. This is a plain hummus flavor that can serve as a base for any other ideas, or stand on its own for your toast, veggie sticks, or salads. You can also check out any of my other salad dressings or hummus recipes!

- 15.5 oz can (254 g) Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup (64 g) Tahini
- 1/4 cup (60 g) Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15 g) Minced garlic
- 1/2 tsp (1.5 g) Cumin, ground
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Salt
- 2 tbsp (30 g) Aquafaba, or water

1. Drain your chickpeas through a strainer into a bowl, saving the liquid. This liquid is called aquafaba, and we will be using some of it later in the hummus to make it creamier

2. Add your chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice to a food processor, and blend until smooth

3. Season with garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend in aquafaba until creamy. Garnish with paprika and parsley, and serve
