With the motor running, slowly pour in water, using the damper to make use it combines with the hummus. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Notes
*amount of water will depend on the consistency you like. Less water will with a thicker hummus, and more will be thinner. I would start with 1/4 cup and add from there.
To make this hummus next level, you can roast the garlic with the cauliflower. I would put it in the oven when the cauliflower has about 20-25 minutes left.
I have tried this recipe in a food processor and the consistency is not as creamy as a Vitamix. A high powered blender works the best.
