The ingredients for Easy Hummus Dip are:

You'll need:
? cup (4 tbsp) Tahini (a sesame seed paste found in international or eastern foods section)
? cup (1 med or large) fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus a little more to drizzle when serving, if desired)
1 med. garlic clove, coarsely chopped - more or less to taste
? tsp ground cumin
? to 1 tsp kosher (or table) salt, to taste - see TIP!

then

2 cups (1 can) chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans.

And finally, a dash or two of paprika for serving.

Here is how you make Easy Hummus Dip:

The trick to getting a nice, smooth hummus is to start with creaming the tahini. So in a food processor, add the tahini and lemon juice and process at full speed for about 1 minute. Scrape the side & bottom then process another 30 seconds or so. This will give you a very light, creamy tahini sauce.Add the olive oil, coarsely chopped garlic, cumin powder, ? tsp of the salt (for now) and process again for about 1 minute, scraping down halfway through.Next, drain the chickpeas but keep about 3 tablespoons of the juice/water for later. Rinse the beans and put half into the processor. Process this for 1 minute, then add the remainder of the beans, process for 1 or 2 more minutes, until it is smooth and rather thick. Adding a tablespoon of the reserved juice at a time, process a little more until it is a nice, smooth creamy consistence. You may not need all the juice. Taste and blend in a bit more salt if needed. Scrape out the hummus and pour into a container. For serving fancy, sprinkle a little paprika on top and drizzle a bit of olive oil, as desired. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week, if it manages to not all disappear right away.Serving Size:?Makes four ? cup+ servings
