  3. Blend Until Smooth:
    • Process the mixture until smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

  5. Serve:
    • Transfer the hummus to a serving dish. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or whole chickpeas.
  6. Enjoy:
    • Serve with fresh veggies, pita bread, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
