Step 1

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the chickpeas and 2 tablespoons of the reserved chickpea liquid with the lemon juice, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of oil, and the garlic. Process the mixture for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Process for 1 more minute, or until smooth.

Step 2

Put in a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, sprinkle with the salt, if using, and serve with veggies or crackers, if desired.

Step 3

The key to light, airy hummus is to add some chickpea liquid, also known as aquafaba. While we usually recommend draining and rinsing canned beans to remove more sodium, for this recipe, save that liquid gold to make you hummus beyond delicious.
