Creamy, zesty, and absolutely scoop-worthy — this loaded hummus is your new favorite appetizer. Made with silky-smooth tahini, fresh lemon juice, and a trick of blending in an ice cube for that whipped texture, it’s perfect with pita chips, veggies, or just a spoon (no judgment).

  •   1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
  •   3 tbsp tahini
  •   1 heaping tsp salt
  •   2 cloves garlic
  •   1 Ice cube
  •   0.25 cup olive oil
  •   Juice of 1 to 1.5 lemons
  •   0.5 cup water, to desired consistency

Instructions

• ◊ Blend base: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, salt, and lemon juice.
• ◊ Add ice & blend: Toss in your ice cube — it helps fluff it up! Blend until mostly smooth.

• ◊ Taste test: Adjust with more lemon, salt, or water as needed.
• ◊ Plate and load up: Spread onto a plate and load with toppings like olives, tomatoes, herbs, or chili oil.
