Basil Olive Oil Hummus with Strawberry Balsamic Drizzle (Vegan/Gluten Free)

Lorie Kolesa

A creamy classic with a garden-fresh twist — finished with fragrant basil, sweet balsamic, and a pistachio crunch.

Ingredients:

    • 1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

    • 2 tbsp tahini

    • 2 tbsp lemon juice

    • 1 clove garlic

    • 1/4 tsp salt

    • 2–3 tbsp cold water

    • 3 tbsp Basil Infused Olive Oil (plus more for drizzling)

    • 1 tbsp Strawberry Balsamic Vinegar

    • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh basil leaves

    • 2 tbsp chopped roasted pistachios

    • Fresh veggies or gluten-free crackers, for serving


    🔥 Instructions:

    1. Blend the hummus: In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and chopped fresh basil. Blend until smooth.

    2. Add olive oil: With the motor running, drizzle in the Basil Olive Oil, then add cold water one tablespoon at a time until light and creamy.

    3. Plate and glaze: Spoon into a shallow bowl, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon to form a shallow well in the center.

    4. Finish and serve: Pour a small amount of Basil Olive Oil into the well, then spoon in the Strawberry Balsamic alongside it. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and a bit more fresh basil. Serve with sliced vegetables or crackers.
