- 2-3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil plus more for garnish
- ½ cup (120 ml) water
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 garlic cloves (optional)

- Prepare Ingredients: Drain the chickpeas and pit the olives if not already pitted. Peel the garlic cloves if using.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the pitted olives, drained chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, water, salt, and garlic cloves into a blender.
- Blend: Process all ingredients in the blender until the mixture is creamy and smooth. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even blending.

Notes
- You can adjust the amount of tahini and olive oil to achieve your desired creaminess and flavor.
- For a milder garlic flavor, use only one clove or omit it altogether.
- If the hummus is too thick, add water a tablespoon at a time to reach preferred consistency.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- This recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free; ensure tahini does not contain any gluten if sensitivity is a concern.
