- 1 clove Garlic, minced

Instructions
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, Greek yogurt, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, ground cumin, and salt to a food processor.
Blend the mixture for 30 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of cold water to the food processor, then blend again for 1–2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Add the additional tablespoon of cold water if the hummus is too thick, blending until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice or salt to taste.
