Hummus Dip with Veggies

When you need a quick appetizer, hummus takes 2 minutes to whiz together and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand.  Tahini ~ sesame paste is traditionally used in hummus, but I didn’t have any, so just made it without and it is still delicious.  In my mini processor, I quickly minced a clove of garlic and rinsed and drained a can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas) and added them along with with some lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper.  Process the chickpeas with olive oil and keep adding olive oil until you have a good consistency.  Done!  I had some fresh thyme that I sprinkled for garnish on the hummus and went through my vegetable drawer and pulled and chopped some veggies to serve alongside. Healthy and delicious in no time.  Click here for the recipe….
