Traditional Hummus

Cal‑a‑Vie Traditional Hummus

Yields 2 cups

You will be amazed at how good this traditional hummus tastes despite how simple the ingredients are. Our philosophy is pretty basic: If you start with fresh, high-quality ingredients, all you have to do is get out of the way and let them shine.

2 cups garbanzo beans, cooked (If using canned, drained)

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 garlic cloves

¼ cup tahini

3 tablespoons water

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt

¼ teaspoon cayenne

In a food processor, combine all the ingredients. Puree until the hummus is smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until reaching the desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt to taste. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-5 days.
