Instructions:

• Open the can of white beans and drain them well. Rinse under cold water to remove excess sodium and set aside.
• In your food processor, combine the drained white beans, fresh basil leaves, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Pulse the mixture until it starts to combine, then blend continuously until the hummus is smooth and creamy. If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water or more lemon juice to reach your desired consistency.
• Taste your hummus and adjust the seasonings with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.
• With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated.
• Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with additional olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves or a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
