Garlic-Cilantro Hummus

Hummus is a favorite in our house. It is packed with fiber

& protein, and it is so easy to make from scratch.

 

Ingredients for Garlic-Cilantro Hummus:

 

*1 can of garbanzo beans

*1 tsp minced garlic

*1 tbsp tahini (what is tahini?)

*a nice handful of fresh cilantro

*1/2 of a lemon

*salt, to your liking

Place all of your ingredients in a food processor. I sprinkle a little bit

of salt in as I go and taste the hummus in between blends.

 

Scrap the sides down in between blending so all ingredients get incorporated.

....blending, blending, blending!

Pair your hummus with baby carrots, or fresh pita chips (slice
pita bread into triangles and bake for about 10 minutes, or place pita bread
halves in the toaster for a lighter crisp.) 

Replace the cilantro with sun dried tomatoes, green or black

olives, fresh bell pepper, or a blend of yummy herbs and spices

to make it your own! Hummus is so versatile.
