- 1/4 cup Tahini

- 1 tsp +/- Salt
- 2 tbsp +/- Olive Oil
- 1-2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Drain the can of chickpeas and add to the food processor
- Pulse 3-5 times, then slowly add 1-2 tbsp of olive oil while food processor is on low
- Stop the food processor and then add the tahini and turn on high until it begins to slowly become more gritty. If the chickpeas are sticking to the side of the food processor, turn off, scrape the sides, and resume.
- Stop the food processor and add the 1/4 cup of water (start with one tablespoon at a time) and salt and pulse for another minute or so. Add the olive oil, lemon juice (more if you want to really taste the lemon) and pulse for another 2 minutes or until desired consistency.
- Lastly, assess the texutre. If you want it smoother add more water. If you want it creamier add more tahini or olive oil. Add more salt if it needs it, and pepper if you want to add a little bite. Enjoy!
