Classic Hummus

Hummus is one of my favorite foods to have on hand for the week for a dip for veggies or bean chips or an addition to a veggie wrap! It is so easy to make at home and you can save money and avoid some extra processed ingredients that come in the store bought versions! This is a recipe for a plain hummus, but you can add in other veggies, herbs or spices to mix it up.  I like to add a small beet or 1/2 of an avocado!

Ingredients:

1 can of chick peas (rinsed thoroughly!)
1 heaping TBSP of Tahini
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 small clove of garlic
2 TBSP of olive oil

Put all ingredients into your blender or food processor and blend until smooth.  You can add a small amount of water if you prefer your hummus to be thinner.

There is so much you can add to hummus to make it interesting: fresh basil or parsley, jalapeƱo pepper, or fresh spinach!
