Creamy herb hummus with a kick. This cilantro jalapeño hummus is the perfect blend. I love using it in salads and bowls, as a veggie dip, and on sandwiches. You can play around with it and add less or more jalapeño, depending on your spice level. Bonus: it’s also oil-free, (except for the drizzle on top) which is hard to find in hummus!

Ingredients:

• 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup packed cilantro, roughly chopped
• 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and diced
• 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 Tablespoon water
• 2 Tablespoons tahini
• 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Toppings: (optional)

• red pepper flakes
• olive oil
• extra diced jalapeño

Directions:

1. Add all ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor (except optional toppings) and blend until well combined.
2. Add toppings as desired. Enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to five days.
