Homemade Hummus (from scratch)
Technically speaking, you need a food processor for this recipe. I actually use my Vitamix Professional Series 750 and it worked perfectly. :) Ingredients: 3-5 garlic cloves (depending on how strong you want the garlic taste do be.) 2 cups canned garbanzo beans (drained) 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/3 cup tahini (sesame seed…
