01 / WHAT YOU NEED

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained ¼ cup olive oil ¼ cup lemon juice ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup tahini (Optional) ¼ cup sweet chili sauce (Optional) 15 pitted kalamata olives 3 cloves garlic, or more to taste 2 teaspoons dried basil 2 teaspoons ground cumin 2 teaspoons dried dill weed 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon water, or as needed (Optional) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or as needed 1 teaspoon olive oil, or to taste

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

Step 1

Start by tossing the garbanzo beans, olive oil, lemon juice, feta cheese, tahini, chili sauce, olives, garlic, basil, cumin, dill, and salt into a blender. Blend everything together until it’s nice and smooth. If the hummus feels too thick, just add a little water to loosen it up to your liking. Once it’s creamy and perfect, scoop it into a bowl. Sprinkle some fresh parsley on top and finish with a light drizzle of olive oil. You can enjoy it warm or straight from the fridge—either way, it’s delicious!
