Ingredients
-
One (fifteen-ounce) can of drained and rinsed chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
-
1/4 cup of tahini (sesame butter)

One tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
-
Two tablespoons of lemon juice
-
Two cloves of garlic
-
1/4 teaspoon of salt (or to taste)
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a little water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
-
Serve with fresh-cut veggies, whole-grain pita, or whole-grain tortilla chips for a healthy snack or appetizer.
Notes
-
For a Nutrim boost, add one scoop of Nutrim plus 1/4 cup of water to 1/4 cup of hummus. Mix well.
-
If you don't have tahini on hand, creamy peanut butter can be used as a substitute, though tahini provides a richer flavor that enhances the taste of the hummus.
