Hummus

This is so good when you make it instead of buying pre-made. The store-bought kind isn't bad, but not near as good as this! It's good on veggies, pita chips, crackers, sandwiches... yum! 

INGREDIENTS:

16 oz. can of chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans) and the liquid

4 TBL of lemon or lime juice (fresh squeezed is best!)

1 1/2 TBL Tahini (This is Sesame Seed Paste- my store carries it next to the olives)

2 crushed garlic cloves

1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt

2 TBL olive oil

DIRECTIONS:

Put all ingredients into a blender or food processor. Blend into a paste. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.
