This variation incorporates the fresh, crisp flavor of celery, perfectly balanced with the rich creaminess of chickpeas.

Instructions:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Set aside.
- Wash and chop the celery stalks into small pieces.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas and chopped celery.
- Add the lemon juice, sesame butter (tahini), minced garlic, olive oil, and salt to the blender or food processor.
- Blend all ingredients until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the container a few times to ensure everything is well-combined.
- Check the consistency of your hummus. If it's too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil as preferred.
- Transfer the celery hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for a nice finish, if desired.
- Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Enjoy your homemade celery hummus!
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, peel the chickpeas after draining them. This extra step can significantly improve the creaminess of your hummus.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your preference. If you like a stronger garlic flavor, add an additional clove.
- If your hummus is too thick, add a little water or more lemon juice to achieve the desired consistency.
- For added flavor, consider toasting the sesame seeds before making the sesame butter or use pre-made tahini.
- Experiment with different toppings like a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or chopped fresh herbs to customize your hummus.
Making celery hummus with garlic and olive oil is a straightforward process that yields a flavorful and healthy addition to your kitchen repertoire. Whether you're serving it with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or using it as a spread in sandwiches, this hummus is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
