Hummus with Coconut Oil & Chia Seeds

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chickpeas (or one 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed)
• ¼ cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
• 2 tablespoons Earth’s Finest Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, melted
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• Juice of 1 lemon
• ½ teaspoon Earth’s Finest Pink Himalayan Salt Fine (adjust to taste)
• 1 tablespoon Earth’s Finest Organic White Chia Seeds

Method:

1. Blend Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, organic extra virgin coconut oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and Pink Himalayan salt. Process until smooth.
2. Adjust Consistency: If the hummus is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until you reach the desired consistency.
3. Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Create a shallow well in the center using the back of a spoon.
4. Garnish: Drizzle with a bit of olive oil if desired. Sprinkle organic white chia seeds over the top, followed by a dash of paprika or sumac for added color and flavor.
5. Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or as a spread in wraps and sandwiches.
