Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Put the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, garlic, and 3 tablespoons of water into the bowl of a food processor. Purée until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Add the parsley, dill, and scallions. Pulse just until the herbs are integrated; the hummus should be beige with flecks of green rather than a uniform pale green.
Step 2
Add more lemon juice and salt to taste. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes so the flavors of the herbs will come through. In a covered container in the refrigerator, Herbed Hummus will keep for 2 or 3 days.
