  3. Process until completely smooth and creamy, adding more ice water, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, salt for savoriness, or cumin for warmth.
  5. Serve immediately with warm pita bread, pita chips, or your favorite vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
