Ingredients:
- 1 15 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid)
- 1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon tahini, or low fat peanut butter if you prefer (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBSP)
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
In a food processor combine beans, tahini (if desired), yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend well. Add salt and cumin and blend to a smooth and creamy dip.
If your hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the chickpeas - about a teaspoon at a time. Other ways to thin out hummus is by using warm water or olive oil.
