- 15-oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 large clove garlic, coarsely chopped
- 3 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tbs. tahini (mixed well before measuring)
- 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- Kosher or sea salt
- 1 large seedless cucumber
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt, well stirred
- 2 Tbs. sesame seeds, toasted until golden brown
Put the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, cumin, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbs. water in a food processor. Process until the mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Use a vegetable peeler to peel the cucumber skin lengthwise at 1/4-inch intervals to create a striped pattern. Slice the cucumber crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds and set them on a platter.
To assemble, lightly salt the cucumber rounds. Top each round with a generous teaspoon of hummus, and top the hummus with a small dollop of the yogurt. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
