A vibrant and creamy Green Goddess Hummus made by blending fresh herbs, chickpeas, and tahini, perfect as a flavorful dip or spread. This recipe combines the freshness of basil and parsley with garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil for a bright, herbaceous twist on classic hummus, ideal for serving with veggies, crackers, or flatbread.

Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

  • 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas (NOT drained)
  • 2 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 stalk green onion, trimmed and roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves (roughly chopped before measuring)
  • 1/2 cup tightly packed fresh parsley (roughly chopped before measuring)
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1 large lemon)
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 3/4 tsp sea salt

To Serve

  • Chili oil or chili crisp
  • Sliced veggies
  • Flatbread
  • Almond flour crackers

Instructions

  1. Heat Chickpeas and Garlic: Microwave the undrained chickpeas along with the whole garlic cloves in a medium-sized heatproof mixing bowl for 4-5 minutes, leaving around 2 inches of space at the top to avoid spills. Alternatively, bring to a boil in a small saucepan, then reduce to a simmer for 4-5 minutes to warm and soften the garlic.
  2. Blend Herbs: While the chickpeas heat, place the green onion, basil, parsley, lemon juice, olive oil, and water into a high-speed blender. Blend until the herbs break down completely and the mixture turns a vibrant green color.
  3. Add Chickpeas and Tahini: Drain the chickpeas and garlic, then add them to the blender along with the tahini and sea salt. Process until the hummus is smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed. Adjust texture by adding more water or olive oil if necessary.
  4. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the hummus and tweak the flavors by adding extra lemon juice for brightness, more olive oil for richness, or additional salt to enhance overall balance.
  5. Serve: Garnish the Green Goddess Hummus with chili oil or chili crisp for a bit of heat. Serve it alongside sliced vegetables, almond flour crackers, and flatbread or gluten-free options. Enjoy as a dip or spread on sandwiches. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.

Notes

  • Microwaving chickpeas with garlic softens the garlic flavor without overpowering.
  • Blending the herbs separately creates a vibrant, fresh green color in the hummus.
  • Adjust water and olive oil quantities to achieve your preferred hummus consistency.
  • Use chili oil or chili crisp as a flavorful topping for added heat.
  • Store hummus covered in the fridge; best consumed within 4-5 days.
  • This hummus is great for vegetarians and can easily fit vegan diets.
