Tips:
- If using dried chickpeas, cook them until they are very tender.
- Adding ice cubes during blending helps to cool down the mixture and results in a smoother texture.
- If the hummus is too thick, you can adjust the consistency by adding a bit of water or extra lemon juice until it reaches your desired thickness.
