Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp tahini
• 2 tbsp non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp water
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Open and drain the chickpeas, reserving a few tablespoons of the liquid for possible use later.

Step 2

Place the drained chickpeas in a food processor along with 2 large peeled garlic cloves, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 1 tsp ground cumin, and 0.5 tsp salt.

Step 3

Blend the ingredients while gradually adding 2 tbsp of water until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. If the hummus is too thick, add the reserved chickpea liquid one tablespoon at a time until the desired texture is reached.

Step 4

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more lemon juice or salt.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil and garnish with 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley.

Step 6

Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
