- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil for garnishing, optional
- 1 sprig parsley for garnishing, optional
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas before transferring them to a medium-sized bowl.
- Into the bowl add the olive oil, minced garlic, tahini and lemon juice, and salt.

- Before serving drizzle some olive oil and garnish with sprig of parsley for color.

Notes
- For an extra flavor-packed hummus, try roasting the chickpeas before adding them to the recipe! Preheat your oven to 375°F, then spread the beans in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until golden brown, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
- For added crunch, top with toasted pine nuts, chives, or fresh parsley.
- For color, you could garnish with parsley, cilantro, or even sprinkle some paprika.
