Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 scant cup almond pulp leftover from making homemade almond milk (185g)
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 garlic clove (very small), or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (15g)
- up to 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed (*see notes below) (15g)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (3g)
Instructions
- Add the water, tahini, lemon juice, almond pulp, salt, olive oil, and garlic (in this order) to the carafe of a Vitamix (or other high-speed blender or food processor).
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 1 minute, or until smooth and creamy (*you may need to blend for 2-3 minutes or longer if using a regular blender or food processor). If needed, stop the machine periodically to scrape down the sides of the container and continue blending.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more lemon juice for brightness or salt for balance. Drizzle with olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika or cumin and serve immediately or refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld or overnight. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use more or less lemon juice according to your taste. I recommend starting by adding only 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and increasing the amount as you wish. For a super zingy lemony kick add more and use less if you prefer a more balanced flavor where no one single ingredient overpowers the dip.
- Use a relatively fresh almond pulp hummus which makes a consistently creamy and smooth almond hummus.
