👨🍳Instructions
- 1
Add all of the ingredients, except for the water, to a food processor and blend on high until smooth.
- 2
While the mixture is blending, in a thin and steady stream, add half of the ice water to the food processor*. If desired, skip this step by simply adding the water in with the ingredients in step #1. * Adding the water in this way helps to aerate the hummus and make it more 'fluffy'.
- 3
Taste test the hummus. If too thick, add the remaining water. For a creamier consistency, add more olive oil and/or tahini. For more zest, add more lemon juice. Plate, garnish, and serve!
