Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 0.5 cup black or green olives, pitted and chopped
- 3 tablespoons low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, chopped olives, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt.
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy.
While blending, gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency. You may not need all the water.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. You can add more lemon juice for tanginess or more salt to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, extra chopped olives, and a sprinkle of paprika for color.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
