Method
Hummus Preparation
Blend Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water.
Puree Hummus
Blend the mixture until smooth. If it's too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice to your liking.
Serve
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle paprika on top.
Vegetable Preparation
Wash and Cut Vegetables
Wash the cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the cucumber and carrot into sticks, chop the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and leave the cherry tomatoes whole.
Pita Preparation
Warm Pita
If desired, warm the pita bread in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes until soft and slightly crispy.
Cut Pita
Cut the pita bread into triangles for easier dipping.
