04 - Combine chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, turmeric, cumin, garlic, and salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding cold water gradually to achieve desired creaminess. Transfer to a bowl.
05 - Spoon each dip side by side in neat lines or mounds on a long serving platter, creating a colorful trio. Garnish optionally with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or spices.
