Hummus tehina is a variant of Israeli style hummus, that contains chickpeas, tahini (tehina in Hebrew), lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and rarely it may contain olive oil.
This is the most common variety of hummus in Israel, and it is made by both Jewish and Arab Israelis.
It is traditionally made as a combination of chickpeas and tahini, or through the combination of the aforementioned ingredients.
Unlike other varieties of hummus, the emphasis in hummus tehina is on the combination of chickpea and tahini, whereas other Middle Eastern styles of hummus typically have more garlic and lemon flavor, have many different consistencies (some grainy, some not), and often have less of a variety of toppings than hummus tehina.

It is topped with olive oil and parsley, and can also be topped with paprika (smoked paprika is most common), za'atar, and other spices.
It can be topped with a variety of toppings such as pine nuts, zhoug, spiced ground beef, lamb, chicken salad, falafel, Jerusalem mixed grill, and much more.
