Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil from the sun-dried tomato jar

Instructions

Instructions

  • Start by draining the can of chickpeas, making sure to reserve the liquid. Rinse the chickpeas under cold water to improve flavor.
  • In your food processor, add the drained chickpeas, strained sun-dried tomatoes, olive oil from the jar, fresh lemon juice, tahini, garlic, salt, and chopped basil.
  • Pulse the ingredients together until well-combined. Scrape down the sides as needed. If too thick, gradually add reserved chickpea liquid until desired consistency is reached.
  • Taste your hummus and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt or lemon juice.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle olive oil on top and garnish with extra chopped basil and sun-dried tomatoes.
