Whip Up a Dip!
I admit it. This is a 'must have' for me. I whip a batch of this up every week, and LOVE it. Every time. Try it with bell pepper strips, cucumbers, celery or carrot sticks. Delicious on wraps, sandwiches. . . basically everything.
Homemade Hummus
Ingredients:
3 cups cooked chickpeas
(or 2 cans rinsed and drained)
(6 oz. dry beans make 3 cups cooked)
4 T. tahini (sesame seed paste)
3 T. olive oil
3 T. lemon juice
1 1/2 t. sea salt
1 1/2 t. minced garlic
3/4 c. water
Directions:
Place all ingredients in blender. Mix until creamy. Refrigerate overnight.
Alterations:
For thicker texture, use less water and stir with long spoon handle in between blending.
For creamier texture, use a couple more Tablespoons of water.
