Hummus (traditional style)


*Makes 4 cups

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas (1 15 ounce can or 1 ½ cups dried)
  • ½ cup tahini
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp salt free seasoning (ex. Mrs. Dash Lemon Pepper. If you want to change up the flavor, you could add red pepper flakes or Southwest Chipotle for a spicy hummus)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp ground paprika
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
  • ½ – 1 cup water, depending on desired texture




Directions:
In a food processor, puree the chickpeas until fairly smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend to your desired texture. Take a little sample bite & add any additional seasonings to taste. Serve with anything! haha. I'll put hummus on, literally anything!
