Hummus

This is the easiest dip to make! It can be eaten with literally anything - vegetables, crackers, pita bread etc....My recipe is more taste based than measurement based - and so one can change and make it their own based on what kind of taste they prefer.

Ingredients

1. One 16 oz can garbanzo beans (chick peas)
2. 2-3 cloves fresh garlic
3. 2-3 tsp tahini (this gives flavor - but also the calories, so it can be skipped if trying to keep a low fat diet)
4. 2-3 tbsp lemon juice
5. salt and pepper to taste

Process

1. Add everything to the food processor and press "ON" :-) 
2. Add olive oil or little water to get the right consistency and grind to a pasty consistency. 
3. I taste it at this point to see see if I need more lemon juice or salt (or garlic).
4. Garnish with olive oil and little red pepper when serving to guests....
5. Enjoy!
