Hummus is a easy-to-make, healthy and protein-packed snack. Great served with pitas, tortilla wedges or sliced, fresh veggies like carrots, celery or bell peppers.
Homemade Hummus Dip
Soak one cup dried chickpeas overnight. Drain and simmer in fresh water with 1/2 tsp. Salt. When tender, drain and cool. Pinch each bean to remove skins until you have 1.5 cups of peeled chickpeas. In food processor, blend 1/4 cup lemon juice and 1/4 cup Tahini (ground sesame paste) for one minute, scraping the sides of the bowl half-way through. Add one clove of pressed garlic, 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil and a pinch of salt. Blend for another minute, scraping the sides half-way through again. Add half of the peeled chickpeas and blend for one minute. Add remaining chickpeas and blend for two minutes, scraping the sides half-way through. Slowly add up to 3 Tablespoons water while blending until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. Serve this tangy dip with pita or tortilla wedges and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
