A delightful and creamy chickpea dip, perfect for any occasion.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly.
Rinsing canned chickpeas reduces sodium content and enhances flavor.
Juice the lemon and set aside the juice.
Roll the lemon on the counter before juicing to extract more juice.
Add chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic to the blender.
For a creamier texture, blend the tahini and lemon juice first before adding other ingredients.
Blend on high speed until smooth, adding water gradually to reach desired consistency.
Scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure all ingredients are incorporated.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with sliced tomato, a lettuce leaf, and a sprig of parsley.
Use colorful garnishes to make the dish visually appealing.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chilling the hummus allows the flavors to meld together for a richer taste.
