- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cold water

With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil and continue processing until fully incorporated.
Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, while processing to achieve your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
