Easy Oil-free Hummus

This is my go-to hummus recipe. I have experimented with many, and always come back to this one. It’s nice to get a great product without using extra oil, but remember, a fresh drizzle of olive oil with a serving can add a healthy boost as well as an authentic Mediterranean flavor. Adjust the garlic and cumin to your preference. So good!

2 c cooked organic garbanzo beans

2/3 c organic sesame tahini

4 cloves garlic, or more to taste

up to 2/3 c chopped fresh parsley (optional)

4 T lemon juice

up to 7 T warm filtered water

2 tsp cumin powder

1 tsp unrefined salt (Himalayan, Celtic sea salt)

Fresh ground pepper (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a food processor for 1-2 minutes.

Note: Start with about 5 T of the water, and add more as needed to get a fluffy, blended result.

Scrape down the sides, blend again 1-2 minutes.

Enjoy!
