I love hummus! It's fast, flavorful, full of fiber and heart friendly fat. Try it as a dip or sandwich spread, yummy!
2 cans garbanzo beans or chick peas, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste, in most grocery stores)
3 Tbs. olive oil, plus drizzle for garnish
1 1/2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 - 2 large garlic cloves, depending on preference
1/2 tsp. salt
paprika & chopped parsley (dried works) for garnish
Puree all but garnish until smooth. Sprinkle lightly with paprika and parsley, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pita wedges, veggies, crackers, or as a spread.
Fitness, food, & writing are my passions, so of course, a blog. As a certified personal trainer in Napa, where food is an art form, I want to eat it, enjoy it, & still be able to get in to my jeans. Anti diet, pro healthy lifestyle. I've spent the last 20 yrs teaching about food & fitness, researching, & writing about it, so I've got a lot to say. I believe in balance; don't forget to do your pushups, & if you love 'em, by all means, enjoy some pancakes!
