My daughter had to make a healthy snack for Girl Scouts’ Healthy Halloween event. She wanted to make hummus. She wouldn’t let me help, but I still recorded her recipe, and it came out so tasty, I wanted to share!

Prep time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 16 oz. can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

  • 1/4 cup lemon juice or 1 lemon, juiced

  • 1/4 prepared tahini

  • 2 cloves of garlic

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp cumin

  • 1 TBS olive oil

Directions

  • To a bowl, add lemon juice, garlic, and tahini. Using immersion blender (see note), blend for 1 minute making sure the garlic is incorporated.
  • Add 1/2 of the chickpeas. Blend for another minute.
  • Add the remainder of the chickpeas. Blend for another minute until smooth.
  • Add the cumin, salt, and olive oil. Blend until combined. If you think the mixture is too thick, you can add a teaspoon at a time of cold water to thin it out.
  • Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to one week.

Notes

  • I hate using the food processor. You can certainly use one, but I love my immersion blender. Easier clean-up, and I use less bowls.
