A zesty take on the traditional hummus recipe is lemon hummus. Its bright, tangy flavor is enhanced by the addition of fresh lemon zest and juice, making it ideal for spreading or dipping. It's a tasty, nutritious, and simple snack to prepare!
Ingredients:
- 1 can 15 ounces chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Zest of 1 lemon for garnish
Instructions:
Put the garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, tahini, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a food processor
If you need to, scrape down the sides of the bowl as you blend to make the mixture smooth and creamy
You can add a little water to get the consistency you want if it's too thick
If you think it needs more salt or lemon juice, taste it and add more of either
Place the lemon hummus in a bowl to serve
Top with lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley
Put it on crackers, pita bread, or vegetables to go with it
Have fun with your tasty Lemon Hummus!
