If you've never made your own hummus, you're in for a treat. The blender does all the work, and the results are creamy and delicious. This is a favorite snack of ours.

Ingredients:

2 15 1⁄2-ounce cans chickpeas, drained (reserve 1⁄3 cup liquid)
1⁄3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon tahini
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch ground cumin
Pita chips
Raw veggies (carrots, celery, cucumber, bell pepper)

Instructions:

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, oil, lemon juice, tahini, salt, garlic, and pepper to taste. Process until smooth, adding the reserved chickpea liquid as needed to reach desired consistency for dip.

Spread the hummus on a large plate. Sprinkle with cumin. Serve with pita chips and raw veggies for dipping.
