  2. Add Baking Soda: If you’re using canned chickpeas, sprinkle in the baking soda to soften them.
  3. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, and sea salt. Pulse until creamy and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Tahini: Add tahini, ground cumin, and olive oil. Blend again, adding ice water gradually until you reach desired consistency.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Adjust flavors by adding more lemon juice or salt, as desired.
  6. Serve with Love: Spoon hummus into a bowl and add garnishes like olive oil, paprika, or parsley.

Notes

Hummus can be made a day ahead; it improves in flavor as it sits. Serve with fresh vegetables or pita chips for dipping.
