This sun-dried tomatoes and basil hummus dip recipe is a creamy purée of garbanzo beans, tahini (sesame seed paste), lemon juice, and fresh garlic.

Ingredients

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons tahini paste
4 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup finely shredded fresh basil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1 Place lemon juice, tahini, garlic, and salt in the bowl of a food processor; process until smooth. Add garbanzo beans and ½ cup olive oil; process until smooth, scraping sides of the bowl occasionally. Add sun-dried tomatoes; pulse until chopped to very small pieces and incorporated into hummus. Add basil; pulse until mixed in, about 3 pulses.
2 Transfer hummus to a shallow serving dish; make a few decorative grooves on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil; sprinkle with paprika before serving.
