Hummus is my new favorite snack this summer. It's relatively low in calories and is great to dip fresh veggies in. The store-bought kind can be pricey ($4 even at Aldi's), so I thought I'd try to make it on my own.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 15 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid)
- 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tahini, or low fat peanut butter if you prefer (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBSP)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS
If your hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the chickpeas - about a teaspoon at a time. Other ways to thin out hummus is by using warm water or olive oil.
