Ingredients

• 1 can (15 ounces) Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
• 3 tablespoons Low-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 clove Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Tahini
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Water (or more as needed)

• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, tahini, cumin, olive oil, and salt to a food processor or blender.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add the water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.

Step 3

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if desired.

Step 4

Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.

Step 5

Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil, and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley, if using.

Step 6

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