Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro (packed, leaves and tender stems)
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves (peeled)
• 0.25 cup Tahini
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Fresh lime zest (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, cilantro, garlic, tahini, lime juice, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop periodically to scrape down the sides of the food processor with a spatula.

Step 3

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for extra tang, or a small pinch of salt if desired.

Step 4

If the hummus is too thick, add additional water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with lime zest, a drizzle of olive oil, and fresh cilantro leaves for presentation.

Step 6

Serve with pita bread, tortilla chips, fresh vegetables, or your favorite crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
