    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon roasted garlic
    • 15 ounce can chickpeas well-rinsed & drained
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice (I like a lot of lemon flavor)
    • 1-2 tablespoon water
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    Instructions

    • Add all ingredients {starting with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water} in the order listed to a food processor or blender. Process until completely smooth. Add more lemon juice and/or water as needed.
    • Keep in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    Notes

    *Look for reduced-sodium or no salt added chickpeas to keep sodium down, but draining & rinsing the chickpeas really well helps reduce the sodium by over 40%
    *Makes 2 cups

      1/2 tsp salt!? It's unnecessary, Canned chickpeas already contain significant amount of salt. Flavour should be just right without and it, the dish will then remain on the healthy side.

        I typically buy the no-salt-added or reduced-sodium chickpeas. I updated the ingredients to reflect that. Also, draining and rinsing the chickpeas very well before using can help decrease the amount of sodium by almost 40%. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

      I like to cook my own chick peas and use the cooking liquid instead of water to cream up the mixture. I read, and I think it works, to process your humus with warm chick peas. For some reason, the texture is creamier.

        That's great! It's definitely ideal to cook your own chickpeas because you can cut back on excess sodium {and occasionally other ingredients} added in canned chickpeas. It's a good idea to soak the beans and change the soaking liquid a few times before cooking them because it helps with digestion of the chickpeas {and other beans}. But the addition of the starchy cooking liquid and using warm chickpeas are great ideas to help increase the creaminess!

      Is there a particular reason you make your hummus without tahini? I'm just wondering

        No reason other than I don't have it at home since it's on the more expensive end of ingredients. I do think hummus tastes better with it, of course, but it is usually not in my food budget. Hope that helps!
