Hummus

This is a snack that Landon and I LOVE. We also serve it after school and at get-togethers. We use Baked Lay's potato chips to dip, but you can use veggies or any GF bread product you like. I am still working on a GF pita type thing to dip.



1 can garbanzo beans, drained

1 7oz can of roasted red bell pepper with juice

1/3 cup tahini (you can leave this out, but I like the nutty flavor it adds) substitute with plain yogurt or sour cream

1-2 tsp chopped garlic

a dash or 2 of basil



Dump everything in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You can add lemon juice (1 tbsp at a time) if it needs to be thinned out.


You can also add jarred jalapenos and some of that juice if you want a bit of a "bite" to your hummus.


More substitutions for the roasted red pepper:


small can of black olives with juice
artichokes with juice
