1/3 cup tahini ▢2 tablespoons cold water ▢2 tablespoons olive oil ▢1/2 teaspoon cumin ▢3/4 teaspoon salt ▢2 teaspoons minced garlic ▢juice of one lemon ▢1 can chickpeas rinsed and drained ▢fresh vegetables and pita bread for serving
Add the tahini, cold water, olive oil, cumin, salt, garlic, and lemon juice to a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the chickpeas and blend for several minutes, until completely smooth.
If the mixture is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out a little.
Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with fresh vegetables and pita bread on the side for dipping.
For a prettier presentation, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika before serving.
