Healthy Homemade Hummus Recipe

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until desired consistency.

Here are three tips from DonerG to make this the freshest and tastiest healthy homemade hummus:

• Cook canned or leftover cooked chickpeas.
• Don’t skimp on tahini – use ½ cup tahini per can of chickpeas.
• Use fresh lemon juice.
• Mince the garlic in the food processor or blender with lemon juice and let that mixture rest for a few minutes, so that the garlic flavor blends in and does not have that raw bite.
