Eat This: Homemade Hummus

Hummus.

Yes, I bet your mouth is already drooling at the simple sight of the word. So delicious, so healthy, so fresh, so smooth, and dare I say… EASY to make.

A few weeks ago I bought me one of the greatest tools for the kitchen- a food processor. We bought the Ninja and boy oh boy, I’ve used that thing everyday since it’s been in my kitchen.

I don’t like to buy the store hummus for many reasons- it’s not always so fresh, the taste is either bland or too over-powering, and even though labels say one thing, I don’t always trust them. I love buying the hummus from my local farmers market but because I haven’t had the time to go on Thursday’s, I have been hummus-less for a while.

We got the stuff we needed and voila- we made some yummy stuff!

Here’s the recipe-

Cilantro Avocado Hummus

Ingredients List-

Hummus

Hummus

1 can of garbanzo beans (or you can easily make your own)

2 TBSP of Tahini (add more or less to taste)

2 garlic cloves minced

1/4 TSP of cumin

Lemon juice (fresh squeezed preferred)

1/4 cup of cilantro (more adds more spice!)

1/2 avocado

Instructions-

Throw it all in your food processor or blender and blend until smooth or the consistency you like your hummus.

Enjoy with veggies- raw carrots are my fave, whole wheat breads, as sandwich spreads and more!

Put it in a bowl and enjoy to your hearts content!
