Humble, yet heavenly hummus

Hummus is a terrific dip for those who want protein and fibre without the fat. You can make this the night before and store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days. For a quick lunch, add pita wedges and cut fresh vegetables. This recipe makes enough to share with friends.

1 regular sized can        chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1 regular sized can        white beans, rinsed and drained
3 Tbsp (45 mL)               Tahini (sesame paste)
2 Tbsp (30 mL)               fresh lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL)                     minced garlic
1 tsp (5 mL)                     hot sauce

Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth. Store in airtight container in fridge.

If you don’t have a blender, mash all ingredients together with a fork.
