Super-Duper Easy Hummus
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
- Wash hands with soap and water.
- Drain and rinse garbanzo beans. In a food processor or blender combine garbanzo beans, garlic, cumin, salt, olive oil and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. May add 2-4 Tablespoons of water to reach desired consistency.
- Serve with fresh vegetables or pita chips.
- Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
Notes:
- Many hummus recipes call for tahini - a paste made from ground sesame seeds that is used frequently in Middle Eastern, Turkish and Greek dishes.
- This recipe does not call for tahini which works well for those who are unable to find it in their local grocery store, those not wanting to purchase a jar or for those who don't like the tahini flavor.
