Hummus is a great, protein-filled healthy appetizer, side dish, or snack. I will be the first to admit it, I have done my fare share of purchasing Sabra pre-made hummus, but it actually is pretty easy to make from scratch. It's a great dip for hosting friends/family where they can dunk veggies, pita/pita chips, pretzels, etc. Here is a very basic recipe that I personally enjoy, but you can add additional ingredients like roasted pine nuts, roasted peppers, or fresh herbs.
Ingredients: For a big bunch!
- 2 Cans of Chick Peas (aka Garbanzo Beans)
- 2 Lemons, Squeezed
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 3 tbs Tahini
- 2 tbs Olive Oil
- 2 tbs Water
- Few Squirts of Hot Sauce (as desired)
- Salt to Taste, about 1.5 tsp
Run all the ingredients through a food processor or blender until it becomes a smooth texture. Taste for salt and/or additional hot sauce. Refrigerate for 15+ minutes before serving.
Serve cooled, with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of paprika. Garnish with Greek olives.
