Ingredients

15.5 ounces chickpeas canned
½ cup raw almonds sliced
2 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoons black pepper

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.
Taste and add any extra salt and pepper as needed.

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.
