My Favorite Hummus



This hummus recipe is great - it's fast, easy, simple, and tastes great....Seriously, everyone I have ever made it for likes it.  Even people who don't like chickpeas - try it out!
Recently, someone was asking me about some good snack recipes, and this definitely qualifies.  It's really easy and healthy to make - filling too! Great for snacking yourself, or use as a spread for crackers, breads, sandwiches....It's also a great appetizer for parties and dinners.



My Favorite Hummus
Open a can of chickpeas, drain & wash:

In a food processor or blender, combine:  the chickpeas, 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil (depending on how you like it), juice of 1/2 lemon, salt, pepper, fresh thyme & oregano.
thyme from the garden.....

Mix until well combined & smooth.  You could also add garlic, spices, veggies, etc. depending on your taste.  Try out some different flavors & see what you like.  Scoop into a bowl & enjoy with gluten free crackers, bread or veggies. Yum!
