Meyer Lemon Olive Oil Hummus

Fezziwig's Meyer Lemon Olive Oil is pressed with the citrus oil from the peel, so it seasons this hummus with a rounder lemon flavor than the lemon juice alone provides. It goes on at the very end, as the finishing drizzle.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, halved
  • 1 tablespoon Fezziwig's Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, minced

Instructions

  1. Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl.
  3. Drizzle with Meyer Lemon Olive Oil. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
Fezziwig's Tip: Let the hummus sit for 10 minutes before serving so the Meyer Lemon Olive Oil's citrus aroma has time to bloom across the surface.
Make It Your Own: For lemon flavor throughout instead of just on top, blend a teaspoon of the oil in with the chickpeas, then still finish with a drizzle over the top.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Meyer Lemon oil instead of a plain finishing oil?

The dip already contains lemon juice; the oil reinforces that citrus note with peel oil rather than more acid, so the texture stays the same.

Is this hummus vegan?

Yes, every ingredient here is plant-based.
