How do you feel about hummus? Personally I find it super delicious, it satisfies my craving for something creamy, and savory in between meals. Most of us use it as a dip for our chips or veggies, but I also like to use it as a spread on sandwiches in place of mayo.
Ingredients
- 2 Lemons ( zested and juiced)
- 16 oz can of chickpeas( drained,rinsed)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 tbsp olive oil ( or sunflower)
- 2 large tbsp minced garlic
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
- Drain and rinse canned chickpeas. ( optional step, lightly sauté them to deepen flavor)
- In a blender, add in juice from lemons, chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Blend to desired consistency. Remove and place into bowl.
- Gently mix in lemon zest an save some to use as garnish. Serve room temperature.
