Drain then rinse the canned chick peas
With your thumb and forefingers, gently peel the skin. The effort will make your hummus so much creamier. Place peeled chick peas in the food processor.
Add he remaining ingredients, except the water, and blend for about 1 minute on HIGH speed.
Add the cold water and blend for an additional 2 minutes, scraping after each minute, until desired texture is reached.
Place in a serving container or refrigerate until needed.
This is great with torn pita bread, chips, pretzels or vegetables of your choice! Use it as a sandwich spread too! Enjoy!
