Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 ounces) Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Tahini
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Water (or more as needed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, tahini, cumin, olive oil, and salt to a food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add the water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if desired.
Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley, if using.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
