Easy Hummus

Easy Hummus

Once in a while I try to eat more healthy foods. Hummus is a very protein-rich alternative to most dips and it's EASY to make fresh so you know what goes into it! If you have some lemon zest, toss  little in to brighten the flavor a little. I've never had leftovers when I serve this to friends!

EASY HUMMUS

2 C canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1/3 C tahini (near the peanut buttter at Hy-Vee)
1/3 C lemon juice
1 t salt
3 cloves garlic, halved
1 T olive oil
1 pinch paprika
1 t minced fresh parsley

Place beans, tahini, juice, salt, and garlic in a blender and process until smooth. It should be about as thick as guacamole. Transfer to a serving dish.

Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika and parsley. Serve with fresh cut vegetables (carrots, broccoli, sweet peppers, cauliflower) or crusty toasted bread.
