    Hummus
    • 1 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans ( drain beans and save liquid )
    • 3 teaspoons lemon juice
    • 2 rounded tablespoons tahini
    • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    Preparation:
    • Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth. If too thick add a little of the saved liquid to thin.
    Optional ingredients for a little different flavor. Start with 1 teaspoon, taste and add more if you want.
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    Or
    1 Teaspoon chopped cilantro
    Or
    1 teaspoon fresh chopped basil.
    Or
    1 Teaspoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes

    You can also change the kind of beans you use, my daughter likes black beans. I have also done this recipe and used 16oz of cooked beets instead of beans it was delicious.

    Thank you ladies, Signer 47, I think I may try the basil. I have some fresh basil growing outside and I think that will add a little different flavor.

    pre processed chickpeas
    lemon zest infused olive oil
    cracked black pepper to taste.

    Spin in the processor.

    EASY & DELICIOUS my coworker turned me on. holy yum if you like lemon flavor. Plus getting them pre processed makes it easier.

    I'm a huge fan of adding roasted red peppers or sun dried tomatoes to any hummus recipe.

    Yummy... I would say as long as you have the general "base", get as creative as you want! Pizza (roasted tomatoes/Italian seasoning), simple garlic, anything (well, maybe not EVERYTHING but ya know). Love me some hummus. What low cal things does everyone use with it, crackers, ect...?
