Hummus



I have been perfecting this hummus for about 13 years. This version is currently my favorite! The kids call it "yummina-humminas" and totally devour it. Feel good about providing your kids with a healthy snack that's great for packing in a lunch box w/ some fresh carrots, cucumbers or zucchini.  
                                                     
Ingredients:
3 c. cooked garbanzo beans (or 2 cans drained and rinsed well)
1/2 c. water
1/4 c. olive oil
1/2 c. tahini
1 T. garlic powder
1 T. dried parsley
1/2 t. ground cumin
dash of cayenne
1 T. lemon juice



In a food processor or blender combine all ingredients and blend.  If you have a hand held immersion blender, place all ingredients in a bowl and blend.  Garnish with a sprinkle of dried parsley and a dash of cayenne.  Serve with sliced cucumbers, sliced fresh zucchini (my favorite), organic tortilla chips or pita bread slices.

Variation:  I also LOVE this recipe with 1/2 t. tumeric instead of cumin.
