Hummus is a yummy, hearty, super healthy dip/spread that, along with carrots, cucumbers, or another veggie, makes an awesome midday snack. (I know, healthy?! I haven't been posting much of that lately.) Or, heck, add some pita wedges, and you've got a great lunch (or, like we had the other day, dinner!)
This is my favorite hummus recipe. It's so dang easy, and very much worth the little effort it takes to make.
Hummus!
Ingredients
- 1 can garbanzo beans drained, but reserve the liquid!
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin (optional)
Instructions
- Throw everything but the garbanzo bean liquid into your blender or food processor.
- Pulse, adding the bean liquid as needed to get things moving, until the hummus is completely smooth.
- That's it! Scoop out and serve! I love it topped with a liberal drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.
- Serve with pita wedges and/or cucumber slices and/or carrots and/or tomatoes and/or...... whatever the heck you want! This is your hummus!
