Healthy Homemade Hummus


Hummus is such a great dish to serve up at a party, on movie night or even as a healthy snack at work!  Try this great recipe that you can make yourself with just a few ingredients.  I purchased 3lbs of dried garbanzo beans for $0.48 at Target (on clearance), so this really didn't cost much at all to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, cooked
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • dash of salt
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 3 TB fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 6 TB tahini
  • 2 TB olive oil
Directions
  • Put garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, cumin and cayenne in food processor and process.
  • Add lemon juice, water and process.
  • Add tahini and olive oil and process until smooth and creamy.
  • Serve right away or store in refrigerator for up to 2 days, or store in freezer (freeze in Ice Cube trays for small portion freezing)
