I love Hummus, it’s healthy, not fattening and tastes delicious. Yesterday I made it fresh for my mom’s birthday party and thought I’d share the recipe with you. I like to serve my Hummus with pita chips or slices of fresh pita bread. Either way, it’s so good.
I hope you enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups canned chick peas, drained
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
DIRECTIONS
- Place the chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Spoon into dip bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over the hummus and garnish with paprika
Note: When you drain the chick peas, set aside some of the water in case your hummus comes out too thick. You can use the water for thinning it out without compromising the flavor.

It’s amazing how much money you can save on humus by making it yoursef once you find the tahini- and so easy to make to. This is a good recipe.
