Step 1

Place ingredients in food processor, except water, and blend until desired consistency.

Step 2

Taste for flavor adding anything more to your liking…more garlic? more lemon? more tahini? more salt? blend again.

Step 3

Add water one tablespoon at a time to thin if needed (when using as a sandwich spread or binder I prefer a thinner hummus and will add a few extra tablespoons of water to thin it out nicely).

Step 4

Serve however you like! It’s great either at room temp or chilled.

Step 5

Makes 1 1/2 cups.

Step 6

Store in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 6 – 7 days.
