1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt.

3. Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and process again until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. Add more water if needed, one teaspoon at a time.

4. Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin as desired.
