- 1 can chickpeas rinsed, drained
- 2 tablespoon tahini paste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon water
- 1-2 large garlic cloves peeled
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Juice of ½ lemon or to taste

- Radishes sliced
- cucumbers cut into bite size
- roasted bell peppers

- toasted pine nuts
First, start by peeling the chickpeas by pinching them between your finger and thumb. This step is optional but I highly recommend it to get the smoothest hummus.
Place the peeled chickpeas in the food processor, add in the tahini, olive oil, water, garlic cloves, paprika, salt, and the juice of half a lemon. Process until smooth. If the hummus is too thick for your liking add 1 teaspoon water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
Spread the hummus on a plate and top it with the optional toppings. Drizzle some good tasting olive oil and serve with flat bread or pita chips.
