Basil Hummus

Ingredients

  • 2 15.5oz cans chickpeas (do not drain)

  • 2 tablespoons tahini

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • ¼ cup packed basil leaves

  • 1 ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender. Process on low for 5 seconds, then turn to high for 5 to 10 seconds until all ingredients are pureed into a spread. Alternatively you can pulse all ingredients in short bursts if you prefer a chunkier hummus.

  2. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. It will thicken slightly as it chills. Serve with vegetables and crackers.
