Garlic Lemon Hummus
Homemade hummus is better than any store bought! Garbanzo beans are blended with tahini, garlic and lemon to become a zesty dip. A bit of green za'atar and flavored olive oil makes this dish amazing.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 (15 oz) cans garbanzo beans drained with liquid reserved
- 2/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (from 1-2 lemons)
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp green za'atar
Instructions
- Open the cans of garbanzo beans. Drain the liquid in a Pyrex measuring cup and reserve it.
- Using the garlic press, mince one clove of garlic and set aside.
- Put the garbanzo beans, tahini, olive oil, 3 cloves of garlic, lemon and salt in the blender and blend at low speed.
- While blending, add the liquid back in to the consistency of your liking.
- When the hummus is blended to the desired texture, serve in a bowl and top off with a drizzle of olive oil, the minced garlic, and sprinkle with the green za'atar.
