Hummus

 

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 pinch paprika
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley, minced

Blend the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic together using a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

Place into a serving bowl and drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the mixture. Sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsely.  You can even add a little bit of cayenne to spice it up if you dare! 😉

I’ve made hummus during the cleanse however I eliminate the salt.  I also purchase the garbanzos in bulk and let them soak overnite and boil instead of using the canned ones. I use Organic Sesame Tahini which comes in a jar and is made by Arrowhead Mills.  You can purchase this at Whole Foods.
