If you find yourself in need of a last minute appetizer, fear not. You most likely already have the ingredients on hand to make impressive little bites.
Use a pipping bag to get a more finished look and garnish with smoked paprika, dukka or spiced chickpeas. Just remember - Presentation is Everything {pistache}

With the machine still running add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and 1 ½ tsp salt. Finally, very slowly add the ice water and allow it to mix for about 5 minutes until you have a very smooth and creamy paste. Transfer the hummus to a bowl and cover. Allow it to rest for 30 minutes before serving. If you are not using it right away, place in the refrigerator but allow it to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
