Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender

Ingredients

  • 1 can Chickpeas (15oz)
  • 2-3 Garlic Cloves optional
  • ½ Lemon juiced
  • ¼ cup Tahini
  • ¼ cup Cold Water
  • 1 tsp Salt optional

Instructions

  • Open can of Chickpeas and drain/rinse. For a smooth consistency, peel each chickpea by gently squeezing each chickpea to “pop off” the skins (this can actually be very soothing).
  • Add chickpeas, garlic, salt, lemon juice, and tahini to the food processor and blend.
  • Scrape the sides and continue to blend until everything is incorporated.
  • If possible, slowly add ¼ c of cold water while the blender or food processor is running. Add additional water, 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency, then ENJOY!
