Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas (rinsed + drained if using canned)
  • 1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
  • 2 tablespoons creamy almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1/3 cup olive oil (+ more for drizzling)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/2 cup basil pesto
  • toasted sesame seeds + hemp seeds (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Add the chickpeas, tahini, almond butter, miso paste, crushed red pepper flakes and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor. Puree the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides if necessary.
  2. With the machine running, stream in 1/3 cup olive oil until smooth and creamy. Let the machine run for about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides, for an extra smooth texture.
  3. Taste and season with salt and pepper. If the hummus is too thick, thin with water or extra olive oil, adding 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  4. For the salsa: In a bowl, combine cherries, strawberries, blackberries, peaches or nectarines, jalapeño, cilantro, basil, and lemon juice. Combine well.
  5. To serve, generously top the creamy miso hummus with the fresh fruit salsa. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil.
  6. Sprinkle with toasted sesame and hemp seeds for a delightful crunch.

Notes

- Use ripe, in-season fruits for the best flavor.
- Adjust the jalapeño and lemon juice in the salsa to your preference.
- For a smoother hummus, ensure your food processor runs for the full 5 minutes, scraping down sides as needed.
- If you don't have almond butter, cashew butter or even extra tahini can be used.
