6 servings
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits beans and legumes like chickpeas because dried, stored beans can carry mold and mycotoxins, but the modest, well-rinsed and 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.
- ½ cup well-stirred tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 small garlic clove, roughly chopped
- ¾ tsp fine salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 3–4 tbsp ice water, as needed
For serving
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for serving
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika or sweet paprika, for serving (optional)
Ingredient noteDried smoked paprika can sometimes contain mold toxins, but the small amount in this recipe—about a pinch per serving—is likely tolerated by many. When possible, use a recently purchased organic spice and store it tightly closed in a cool, dry place. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, for serving (optional)
Instructions

Add the garlic and salt to the food processor and process until the garlic is finely minced, about 10 seconds. Scrape down the sides.

Add the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute, until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy.
