Notes

*Lectin-Free: You will need to use chickpeas that have been pressure cooked, like this brand, and will need to omit the jalapeno for this recipe to be 100% lectin-free.

Jalapeno: Depending on how hot your jalapeno is, you may need to increase or reduce the amount of jalapeno. If you have a really hot jalapeno, use ½ - 1 in the recipe. If your jalapeno isn't very hot, use 1 - 2 in the recipe.

Lemon Juice: Fresh squeezed lemon juice tastes better and retains more nutrients, but you can substitute with store-bought organic lemon juice.

Tahini: You can use homemade tahini or a store-bought organic tahini and either will work fine.

Himalayan Pink Salt: This is the salt of my preference, but you can always use sea salt as a substitute.

Water: Feel free to adjust the amount of water in the recipe depending on the consistency you prefer. Use a little less water (2 tablespoons) if you like a thicker hummus and a little more (4 tablespoons) if you like a thinner hummus.

Garnish: You can add optional toppings like a drizzle of 100% avocado oil, chopped fresh cilantro, or organic sesame seeds on top before serving.
