4 servings
For the hummus
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
Ingredient noteThe Mold Detox diet limits beans and lentils to about 1/2 cup at a time, and this recipe works out to about 1/2 cup of chickpeas per serving, so it is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid chickpeas, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2–3 tbsp cold water
For serving
- 2 large english cucumbers, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
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 parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, and salt to a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, until the mixture is roughly combined.
- 2
With the processor running, add cold water 1 tbsp at a time until the hummus is smooth and creamy, about 2 more minutes of processing. Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as needed.
