Lemon Garlic Hummus | Well and Full | #healthy #vegan #recipe

This Lemon Garlic Hummus is bursting with vibrant, lemon-y flavor! Creamy, tangy, and garlicky, it’s the perfect dip for veggies, pita bread, or a tortilla chips. Coming together in minutes, this is a recipe you’ll reach for again and again!


It’s no secret that I love all things chickpea. I have buddha bowls, salads, wraps, and pizzas with chickpeas on Well and Full, and more! But while I’ll always be devoted to chickpeas in oven-roasted form, I love hummus almost as much. It’s actually kind of dangerous because I have been known to go through a tub of hummus in just a day. But nowadays I go the healthier route, and make my hummus at home. It’s infinitely more delicious this way, and only takes a few minutes to throw together in the food processor.

Knowing this, I hope you can appreciate the herculean effort it took me to give up this hummus to my boyfriend! The best of what I make in the Well and Full test kitchen, he gets to take in to work for lunch. So it was longingly that I stared at the hummus as I packed it into Jon’s lunch. But it makes me happy knowing that my guy has a healthy and nutritious meal on the way!

If you like this recipe, I highly recommend checking out my Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus (a personal fave) and my Calabrian Chili Hummus! The best of luck on your hummus-making endeavors :)

Lemon Garlic Hummus

This easy, vegan lemon garlic hummus is full of savory, delicious flavor, and comes together in less than 10 minutes! Perfect for a party or for snacking.
Prep Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz Can of Chickpeas
  • 3 Cloves Garlic
  • 2-3 Tbs Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Tbs Fresh Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 Cup Tahini
  • 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Tsp Sea Salt
  • Lots of Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Tsp Turmeric optional, for color

Instructions

  • In a food processor, combine the lemon juice with the garlic. Pulse on high until the garlic is minced, then let it rest with the lemon juice for 2-3 minutes. (This will help take some of the "bite" out of the raw garlic).
  • Then, add in the rest of the ingredients and blend on high until hummus is smooth and fluffy – it might take a minute or two. Be sure to scrape any pieces of garlic or chickpea down from the sides of the food processor.
  • Taste, and adjust seasonings as necessary. I added a little extra black pepper. Also, feel free to add the additional 1 Tbs of lemon juice if you want things to be nice and zingy.
  • Serve hummus in a bowl with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh cracked black pepper on top. It’s delicious with carrots or pita chips!
  • Enjoy!

Notes

The turmeric here is totally optional, but I love that it lends this hummus a sunny yellow color! Also, the hummus will keep in the fridge for about 4-5 days.

    I love your super lemony take on hummus. I am with you on the packed lunches – Peter is lucky enough to get my experiments (good and bad) in his lunch haha. Bit of an accidental vegetarian that guy!
