Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place strainer over medium mixing bowl. Drain garbanzos and reserve liquid, set aside.
  • Add tahini, lemon juice and garlic to the bowl of food processor fitted with steel blade. Pulse tahini, garlic and lemon juice until smooth paste forms. Add garbanzo beans and olive oil, process until most lumps are gone.
  • Check consistency of hummus; if too thick, add small amount of reserved liquid from beans. Continue to blend until smooth, adjusting consistency as needed with liquid.
  • Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with paprika and serve with warm pita or fresh veggies!

Notes

Everyone loves hummus and veggies, but did you know you could also use it on sandwiches instead of mayo?
