Instructions
- Drain chickpeas and reserve liquid. Keep a few of the chickpeas for garnish at the end.
- Add chickpeas to a food processor with the almonds, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Turn on food processor and slowly add in olive oil. Occasionally scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Add reserved chickpea liquid until you get your desired consistency. I used 5 Tbsp.

Notes
Makes 1 ¾ cups.
A serving is 2 tablespoons.
Make sure to save the water from the can of chickpeas to thin out the hummus if it's too thick. It has WAY more flavor than water.
