Quarantine Cooking: Hummus!

In my opinion, hummus is the perfect dip. It’s nutritious, filling, and compatible with most dip-able foods. (Guacamole comes close, but dipping carrots in guac just doesn’t feel right.) With garbanzo beans as its primary ingredient, hummus is packed with protein, carbohydrates and fiber, which makes it a great snack in between meals or after a workout. Plus, it’s super easy to make your own, and often tastes better homemade! With this recipe as a foundation, you can experiment with additional toppings and spices. Happy snacking!

5 Ingredient Hummus

Makes approx. 1.5 cups

Ingredients:

– 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans – 1?4 cup tahini
– 1 clove garlic
– 3 tbsp lemon juice
– 3 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

  1. Blend first four ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  2. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while continuing to pulse.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
