  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon white pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, add the chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, and white pepper. Pulse to combine, then process on high until desired consistency. I like when it is smooth.
  • Taste and add more salt and pepper if you prefer, and continue to blend until combined.

Notes

Tips
  • Give this organic hummus time to blend up smooth, I blend on high. You can add more olive oil if the hummus is too thick. Add a little bit at a time and blend again before adding more. 
  • Store homemade hummus in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Use hummus for dipping veggies, bagel chips, or crackers. You can also add onto toast, sandwiches, or use as a dipping sauce for kabobs.
High Altitude – Follow the recipe as noted.
