Easy and Delicious Hummus

Hummus tastes amazing as a dip or a spread with veggies, breads and crackers. Hummus is one of my favorite healthy lunch snacks to take with me to work.

1 (15oz) can chickpeas
1/4 cup tahini paste
3    Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1    garlic clove (roasted if you have it)
1/4 tsp ground cumin
      salt and pepper to taste

1) Drain the chickpeas and put the liquid aside.
2) Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. If it is too thick to blend, add some of the chickpea liquid.

Serve at room temperature with a mixed veggie platter, pork or lamb. It is a great spread on a sandwich or pita.

Try mixing in roasted red pepper, fresh herbs or chili flakes to change up the flavor of your hummus. There are so many possibilities!
