A silky, tahini-free hummus that uses Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.

While traditional hummus relies on sesame tahini for its richness, this clever variation uses Greek yogurt to achieve an exceptionally smooth and creamy texture. It is a fantastic solution when your pantry is missing tahini, offering a tangy twist that complements the earthy chickpeas and zest of fresh lemon. Packed with plant-based protein and gut-friendly probiotics from the yogurt, this dip is lighter than the classic version but just as satisfying. The addition of cumin and garlic ensures the flavor profile remains robust and authentic. It serves perfectly as a healthy snack with veggies or a spread for sandwiches.

Ingredients

425 g can Chickpeas
60 g Greek Yogurt
3 tbsp Lemon (Juiced)
1 clove Garlic
2 tbsp Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Cumin
0.5 tsp Sea Salt
1 pinch Paprika

Instructions

1
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
2
In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and sea salt.
3
Blend on high until the mixture forms a thick paste.
4
While the motor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to emulsify the mixture.
5
If the hummus is too thick, add cold water (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
6
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed.
7
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.

Chef's Tips

•For ultra-smooth hummus, you can peel the chickpea skins before blending, though it takes extra time.
•Use ice-cold water if you need to thin it out; it helps fluff up the texture.
