If you're looking for a healthy and delicious snack, look no further than homemade hummus! With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a creamy and flavorful dip that's perfect for dipping veggies or spreading on sandwiches. Here's how to make hummus from scratch:

  1. Drain and rinse one can of chickpeas, reserving the liquid.
  2. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, 1/4 cup of tahini, 1/4 cup of olive oil, 2-3 cloves of garlic (depending on your preference), the juice of one lemon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Puree the mixture until it's smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add some of the reserved chickpea liquid a tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or garlic if desired.
  5. Serve the hummus with pita bread, veggies, or use it as a spread on sandwiches.

That's it! Homemade hummus is easy to make and much cheaper than store-bought. Plus, you can customize the recipe to your liking by adding herbs, spices, or roasted vegetables. Enjoy!
