Okay seriously never going to buy store bought hummus again and I bet after you try this that you won't either! This literally took me under a minute to whip up -- it is SO SO easy, you just combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend. And DELICIOUS. In fact I am eating it as I type right now with some pretzels and olives :P It's also a really great healthy way to get in some protein for you vegan/vegetarians out there! Enjoy!
What You'll Need:
- 2 cans of chickpeas or garbanzo beans (drained)
- 2 tablespoons of tahini (a paste found in the ethnic or middle eastern section of food store)
- 1/2 cup of water
- juice of half a lemon or lime (or more, to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 (approximate) teaspoon of ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic (or more, to taste)
Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients in blender and pulse until smooth.
2. Transfer to serving bowl and drizzle some olive oil over it with some kalamata olives and fresh parsley or fresh garlic for decoration.
