Better Hummus

Store bought hummus is bland and expensive. This simple, no-fuss recipe makes a delicious hummus for a fraction of the price. It's important to get organic or high quality garbanzo beans and tahini as this makes the difference between good hummus and great hummus. I often double this recipe and keep the extra in the fridge as a kid (and adult) friendly snack.

Prep: 10 mins
Total: 10 mins
Serves 6

14 ounce can organic garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt, or to taste
Place all ingredients in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Cover and process until pureed.
Serve with pita chips, warm pitas, or veggies. Store remaining hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days.
