Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed and add water in small increments to adjust the consistency to your liking.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Transfer the houmous to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and an additional drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Step 6
Serve immediately with vegetable sticks or low-carb crackers, or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
