Saturday, June 28, 2008 - Hummus Recipe

Hummus

ingredients:
1 can Garbonzo beans (chick peas)
2 T. Lemon Juice
1/4 c. olive oil
1 t. Cummin
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. Garlic powder

Drain the beans and pour in medium sized mixing bowl.  Add the rest of the ingredients.

Take a potato masher and mash a bit.  You can skip this part if you have a heavy duty blender. But I don't so I mash it a little and then....

Finish it off with my hand mixer! 

Traditionally, hummus is eaten with Pita bread.  But it's good on tortillas and great on saltiine crackers! 

For a great, healthy lunch serve hummus with saltines, unsweetened applesauce, and string cheese.

Enjoy!

Happy Trails!
