Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can (drained and rinsed) Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 0.25 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground paprika
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 teaspoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Extra olive oil (optional, for drizzle)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water.
In a food processor, add the drained chickpeas, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and cold water.
Blend the ingredients together on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If the hummus is too thick, add 1-2 additional tablespoons of cold water to achieve your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a slight swirl on top.
Sprinkle ground paprika over the hummus and garnish with fresh chopped parsley (optional). For an extra touch, drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil on top before serving.
Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a spread for wraps and sandwiches. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
