- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if desired.
- Transfer hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with extra smoked paprika before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
For extra smooth hummus, peel chickpeas by pinching them individually before blending.
