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 all ingredients. Start with 2 Tbs lemon juice - you can always add more later.
  • Blend everything in the food processor on high until hummus is smooth and fluffy - it might take a minute or two. 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.
