Easy-Peasy Hummus


We haven't gone grocery shopping yet for the upcoming week, so our reserves are low. I found an old bag of Stacy's Pita Chips (Rosemary and Black Olive--yum!) that have preserved miraculously well. I decided to whip up a little hummus for some additional protein:

Directions:

Dump the following ingredients into a food processor and press start:
  1. 1 can of drained chickpeas
  2. 2 cloves of garlic (or one large)
  3. 1/4 cup of olive oil
  4. 1/8 cup of tahini
  5. 1 tbs. lemon juice
  6. Salt to taste
Voila!

    Hey Sara - I know you said earlier that you wanted to try your recipes for legumes with dried vs canned.
    Apparently, dried chickpeas are way more healthy than canned?
    Anyways, I'm going to give this recipe a go:

    (there's a whole BLOG devoted to hummus - must be good!)
    It requires a bit (a lot) of planning ahead, but that's what weekends are for, right? ;)

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
