Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans low sodium
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon roasted cumin powder
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans.
  • Add the beans to a saucepan with a dash of baking soda, cover with water and boil for 20 minutes or until soft.
  • Allow the garbanzo beans to cool and then add to the blender with the remaining ingredients.
  • Blend on high speed until smooth, adding water as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Serve with pita bread, crackers, chips, or vegetables.

Notes

Hummus will thicken when refrigerated, so it's best to add a bit more water than you think you need when blending. However, if your hummus ends up too thick after being refrigerated you can always add a dash of water later to bring it back to a good consistency.
