Hummus

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.
