- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits beans and legumes like chickpeas because dried, stored beans can carry mold and mycotoxins, but the modest cooked serving here (about 1/2 cup or less per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid chickpeas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

Add the chickpeas, tahini, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, cumin, turmeric, and salt to a food processor. Process for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is roughly combined and the chickpeas are broken down.

With the processor running, drizzle in the 3 tbsp olive oil through the feed tube. Continue processing for 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides once, until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Add the reserved chickpea liquid or cold water 1 tbsp at a time, processing between additions, until the hummus reaches a smooth, spreadable consistency that holds a swirl.
