Delight all of your guests with a tray brimming with bright, crunchy vegetables, soft, warm pita bread, and a bowl of the silkiest, creamiest hummus around. Our classic hummus boasts traditional Middle Eastern flavors of rich tahini (roasted sesame seed paste), garlic, lemon, and nutritious chickpeas. Way better than unimpressive store-bought hummus and so easy to make. Prepare yourself for compliments.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with foil or use a nonstick baking sheet. Cut pita bread into triangles and arrange on baking sheet. Place in oven to toast for 5-7 minutes, or until desired warmth or crispiness is achieved. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Rinse and drain chickpeas. Halve lemon. Halve bell pepper, removing membrane (white spiny innards) and seeds. Chop bell pepper into thin, dippable strips. Remove tops and bottoms from radishes. Slice celery into dippable spears. Cut parsley into a fine dice. Mince garlic.

In a food processor or blender, combine the garlic, chickpeas, 1/2 cup of water, juice from the lemon to taste, tahini, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more lemon juice if additional tartness is desired. Keep cool in refrigerator until ready to serve.
