This easy oil-free hummus recipe is delicious with crunchy veggies, toasted pita, or falafel. It’s so smooth and creamy, you’d never guess there is no added oil!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. To cook the chickpeas, drain and rinse a can of chickpeas.
  2. Add them to a pot and cover with 2 inches of water.
