Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz / 425 g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas)

  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted

  • 3 tbsp tahini

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2–3 tbsp water (adjust for consistency)

  • ½ tsp ground cumin

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1 small jalapeño or 1 tsp sriracha (for a spicy kick)

  • ¼ cup chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes (for Mediterranean flavor)

  • Fresh cilantro or basil (for a herb-infused twist)

  • Dash of paprika or smoked paprika (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chickpeas:
    Drain and rinse chickpeas thoroughly. If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight and cook until tender.

  • Blend the Base:
    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides.

  • Add the Avocado:
    Scoop in the avocado flesh. Blend again until creamy and fully incorporated. The avocado adds richness and a velvety texture.

  • Adjust Texture and Seasoning:
    Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your preferred consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and extra lemon juice to taste.

  • Serve and Garnish:

  • Transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and top with chopped herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Make it spicy: Add jalapeño or sriracha for heat.

  • Extra creamy: Use an extra tablespoon of olive oil or tahini.

  • Kid-friendly: Skip the spice and serve with sweet bell pepper strips or carrot sticks.

  • Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Press plastic wrap directly against the surface to prevent browning.
