Classic Hummus

This is for your basic hummus. If you want to get creative, add a small beet for pink hummus. Or a tablespoon of spicy red pepper paste (such as harsissa) for spicy hummus.

Serves:

Makes about 2 cups

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons water
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon kosher salt

WHAT TO DO:

Combine all the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Puree until the hummus is smooth; add more water if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.
