Green Goddess Hummus
Cookie season was in high gear when I decided to make this hummus to even things out.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 15- ounce can garbanzo beans drained and peeled
- ½ cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice more as needed
- 2 large cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt or more to taste
- Water as needed
- ½ cup roughly chopped loosely packed fresh parsley from the AeroGarden
- ½ cup roughly chopped loosely packed fresh basil from the AeroGarden
- ¼ cup chopped fresh chives from the AeroGarden
- Assorted Crudite
- Toasted Pita Wedges
Instructions
- In a food processor, add the drained and peeled garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt and blend until smooth. With the machine running, drizzle in 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until the hummus is silky smooth with absolutely zero clumps. Add the fresh herbs and continue to whirl until smooth.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, garlic or lemon if needed.
- To serve, drizzle it with a little olive oil, and sprinkle it with extra herbs. Serve it with pita wedges and assorted crudité.
Notes
I will always recommend peeling your garbanzo beans. It might seem kinda silly, but once you see the amazing texture of the hummus you'll never NOT peel them!
