Hummus Recipe

Most hummus recipes call for tahini, which is a sesame seed paste. But tahini is expensive, and if you can't find it (or don't want to buy it), peanut butter is a fine substitute.

Serve this recipe for hummus with carrot sticks, pita chips, cucumbers or red peppers for a healthy and satisfying snack for the whole family.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 15 oz. can chick peas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini or peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or hot sauce (optional)

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Puree until smooth.

Serve with carrot sticks, red pepper slices, pita chips or crackers.
