In this season with an abundance of fresh vegetables available, you can enjoy them raw with a great dip. Hummus is my most favourite dip in the whole wide world and I could easily exist on just hummus and fresh carrot sticks for months. I’ve included my base recipe using store-bought tahini below with a few variation ideas.

- 4 dl / 400 ml chickpeas, cooked
- 2 pcs garlic cloves
- 7 tbsp tahini, firm
- 1,5 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Mix chickpeas, tahini and garlic cloves in a food processor.

To Create A Variation Of Different Flavoured Hummus You Can Try To Add One Of The Following Ingredients To A Batch Of Hummus
- Fresh Coriander
- Jalapenos
- Smoked paprika powder
- Sun-dried tomatoes and black olives
- Note: Use less tahini and more water for a thinner hummus.
- If desired remove the oil and reduce the amount of tahini for a slimmer version of the hummus.
