Ingredients

For the hummus:

  • 1 garlic clove, or 1½ tsp garlic powder
  • 3 or 4 ice cubes * [80 g]
  • Two 15 oz [425 g] cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • ⅓ cup [80 g] fresh lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup [85 g] tahini
  • Salt

For the toppings/for serving:

  • 1½ cups seasonal produce
  • ½ to 1 tsp red wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Extra toppings
  • Pita and/or crudités, for serving

Instructions

  1. Put the garlic in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until it’s finely chopped.
  2. Add the ice cubes to the food processor, followed by the chickpeas and lemon juice. Blend until the ice cubes break into small pieces and melt completely and the chickpeas smooth out.
  3. Add the tahini, season with salt, and continue blending until completely combined.
  4. Prep your vegetables, season with salt, and toss in a little vinegar or lemon juice.
  5. Spread the hummus evenly on one large or two small plates, dip the back of a spoon across the surface to create little dimples, top with oil, the prepped produce, and extra toppings, and serve with pita and/or crudités.

Notes

* If you don’t have any ice cubes on hand, you can use 1/3 cup [80 g] of water instead.
