Here are some tasty hummus recipes that will add variety and flavor. Most can be done without the use
Of a food processor, but remember that it may be thicker or chunkier.
1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
