Instructions

Combine the Ingredients : In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, minced garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Just dump them all in and let the processor do its magic!
Blend Until Smooth : Blend everything together until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides a few times. You might need to add a splash of water to loosen it up if it’s looking too thick, that’s totally normal!
Season It Up : Once you have your smoothness just how you like it, add a couple pinches of salt and pepper, then blend again. Taste and adjust as needed! I usually find myself adding a little more salt for that flavor boost.
Transfer and Garnish : Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, then go ahead and garnish with fresh herbs. You can drizzle a little extra olive oil on top if you’re feeling fancy, it makes it look so tempting!
