*** Hummus


  • 4 oz dried garbanzo beans (or 1 can)
  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic (about two cloves, minced)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Sriracha sauce to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish
If using dried, start the night before: rinse the dried beans, picking out any stones. Put them in a large pot with 2 1/2 cups water.

Dump out the used water, then replace with 4 cups new water. Bring to a simmer, then lower heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the water.

OR if using canned: drain the cans of beans, reserving some of the liquid.

Blend together all ingredients except paprika in the food processor, adding in a few tablespoons, one at a time, of the reserved bean water

Makes 6 servings, 5 WW PointsPlus each.

Pair with sliced carrots for a filling snack
