Ingredients

  • 1 can cannelini beans 15 oz, drained (SAVE liquid) and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • juice of 1 or 2 lemons
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  • Place ingredients in food processor and blend until combined. Slow add in 1 Tablespoon of the reserved bean liquid* until it reaches your desired consistency and creaminess (I usually add 3 Tablespoons).
  • Give it a taste -- and ensure it doesn't need anything else. Consider white black pepper for a little kick, more lemon, more tahini for nuttiness, or salt. Serve with crackers, on bread, with carrots and celery, or bell peppers at room temperature or cold.

Notes

This recipes makes 1 ½ cups. 
Storage: Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. 
*If you forget to reserve the bean liquid when draining (it happens to the best of us), just add water instead.
