Description
Looking for a healthy dip or spread for your sandwiches? This hummus is packed with flavor and is low calorie so it won’t sabotage your gym efforts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 – 15 oz cans of garbanzo beans, I used low sodium version — drained and rinsed.
- 4 tbl of fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 c or so of good olive oil
- 1 c of fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 jalapeño, stem removed
Instructions
- In your food processor, place the cloves of garlic and pulse until finely chopped. Then add the beans, lime juice and salt. Puree for about 1-2 minutes. It will look like a chunky oatmeal texture. Then through the spout, finely pour a stream of the olive oil. This will blend with the bean mixture and make a smoother, hummus type texture. Then add the jalapeño & cilantro and pulse again until incorporated.
Notes
You can serve right away or refrigerate for 1-6 hours and then remove before serving, allowing enough time for it to return to room temperature for optimum flavor.
