Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip/spread made from chickpeas (garbanzo beans). I like mine slightly denser than the store bought kind, but the consistency can easily be adjusted.
Hummus can be served as a healthy dip for carrots, cucumbers, celery, and gluten-free lentil chips. We also use it as a spread in veggie wraps. It's our go-to healthy gluten-free appetizer for friend and family get-togethers.
Ingredients:
- 1 can Chickpeas
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 2 TBSP Tahini
- 2-4 TBSP Lemon, juiced
- 1 TBSP Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- salt to taste
Directions:
- Drain the chickpeas in a can and save the liquid.
- Add chickpeas, cumin, tahini, garlic and 2 TBSP of lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth.
- Add salt to taste. Be careful not to add too much salt if you will be serving with salty chips instead of our recommended lentil chips. Add up to 2 more tablespoons of lemon juice to get the desired tanginess. (Since the lemon's acidity differs, it's hard to recommend an exact amount.)
- Add the saved chickpea liquid, 1 TBSP at a time, and blend until you get the desired consistency.
Notes:
Refrigerate the leftovers.
