Ingredients

Scale

¼ cup tahini
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 large lemon’s worth)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
½ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh tarragon or basil
2–3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh chives or green onion
1 large garlic clove, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon salt, more to taste
One 15‑ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
1–2 tablespoons water (optional)
Garnish with extra olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs

Instructions

In a food processor, combine tahini, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Blend until smooth.
Add the chopped parsley, tarragon or basil, and chives or green onion; pulse to incorporate.
Add the drained chickpeas and blend, adding water as needed to reach a creamy consistency.
Season with salt and blend again, tasting and adjusting seasoning.
Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with extra fresh herbs.
Serve with pita, veggies, or crackers and enjoy!

Notes

Tip: For a richer flavor, substitute half of the olive oil with avocado oil. This hummus stores well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days; top with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent oxidation. For a vegan version, ensure the garnish uses only plant‑based herbs. If you’re allergic to nuts, replace tahini with sunflower seed butter.
