Hummus!

Hummus is so versatile, and there are so many flavors to choose from! You can buy hummus in any grocery store, but it's really easy to make at home! (And it tastes so much better!) To make it at home, loosely follow this recipe:

1 15 oz can of chickpeas
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of mince garlic

Add all ingredients in a food processor, and blend well!

This makes an original flavored hummus, but you can do so much with it. Some store bought flavor to inspire you:

Roasted Garlic
Roasted Garlic and Chive
Roasted Red Pepper
Greek Olive
Roasted Pine Nut
Sun Dried Tomato
Tahini
Jalapeño
Lemon
Spicy
Basil Pesto

And whatever your imagination can come up with!

Hummus is an awesome dip for raw veggies- it makes eating them a whole lot tastier! It's also great with homemade pita chips, spread in a pita or sandwich, and more! The chick peas add a little extra protein, and a lot of flavor!

How do you like your hummus, plain or flavored? What's your favorite thing to put it on?
