Lebanese hummus is smooth, creamy, and full of earthy flavor. This classic Middle Eastern dip is made with chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and garlic. A healthy and delicious staple for any table.

You’ll need cooked chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and cold water. These pantry-friendly ingredients come together in minutes to create a rich, silky dip.

The creamier the chickpeas, the smoother your hummus. You can use canned chickpeas (rinsed) or cook dried ones until very soft for best texture and flavor.

For extra silky hummus, gently pinch off the skins from the chickpeas. It takes a few minutes but makes a huge difference in creating a velvety finish.

Blend tahini, lemon juice, and garlic before adding chickpeas. This helps emulsify the mixture, making it lighter, creamier, and perfectly balanced in taste.

Now add the chickpeas and a few tablespoons of cold water. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, adding water gradually to reach your preferred consistency.

Add salt and taste. You can adjust with more lemon or garlic if needed. Lebanese hummus should be tangy, nutty, and balanced, not overly garlicky or thick.

Spoon hummus into a bowl, drizzle with good olive oil, and top with paprika, whole chickpeas, or parsley. It’s delicious with warm pita, veggies, or as part of a mezze platter.

Keep hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It makes a great spread for sandwiches, wraps, or a quick snack with carrots or cucumbers.
