Hummus: it's the go-to dip to make for personal snacking and parties alike. You've probably made and devoured it a thousand times and frankly are surprised you're not tired of it yet. But if you're on the verge of boredom, allow longtime food blogger Heather Christo to zest things up for you. She recently released a cookbook called Pure Delicious, and her recipe for lemon-artichoke hummus offers two ingredients that will knock your hummus right out of humdrum territory: lemon zest and artichoke hearts. Yes, these kitchen staples are all you need for a fresh take on your favorite dip!
In a food processor, combine the garlic, tahini, and garbanzo beans and pulse until the beans are well broken up.
Add the lemon juice. With the processor running, add the olive oil in a thin stream and continue to run the food processor until the hummus is very smooth and creamy. Add the artichoke hearts and lemon zest and pulse until chunky. Season to taste with salt.
Transfer the hummus to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
