Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Raw cashews
• 0.5 cups Filtered water
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Garlic clove
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoons Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results. Once soaked, drain and rinse the cashews thoroughly.

Step 2

In a high-powered blender or food processor, add the soaked cashews, filtered water, fresh lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic clove, ground cumin, and sea salt.

Step 3

Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or processor a few times to ensure everything is evenly blended. If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 4

Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more lemon juice or salt if needed.

Step 5

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 6

Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, crackers, or as a spread on sandwiches. Store any leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
