  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor: This will help to create a smooth and creamy hummus.
  • Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt to taste: Start with a small amount of each ingredient and add more to taste until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Serve the hummus immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later: Hummus can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
