Hummus

Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of liquid from chickpeas*. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth.


*Note:  I rarely need all 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid.  Just pour in enough so that the hummus starts jumping the the processor and getting fluffly.  I normally need about half the amount.  This is particularly true if you use the higher end of the lemon juice range.  I think the lemon juice is probably better for you than the reserved liquid anyway.
