If you are anything like me, I am always trying to come up with new, healthy snack options for my little guy. He (and me) get so sick of having the same things over and over and over again...so one thing we LOVE to snack on at our house is hummus...love it so much I figured I would try to make it....and it was a success! So I thought I'd share:
1 16 oz can of chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans)
1/2 the liquid from can of chickpeas
4 tablespoons lemon juice (or lime)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
2 crushed garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Optional: roasted red pepper, roasted tomato…
Dump all of the ingredients into your blender. Blend into a nice paste. Serve immediately with fresh, warm or toasted pita bread, as a spread on a sandwich or cover and refrigerate.Aidan loves hummus as a dip for fresh veggies. He eats lots of fresh carrots (or just sucks the hummus off the carrots...depending on his mood) simply for the love of the hummus. Enjoy!
