I love a simple hummus… I could probably eat the entire bowl with a bunch of warm pita bread.

Here is my recipe – this one is creamier than the average easy hummus recipe as I’ve added Greek yogurt – yum!

 

Creamy Hummus

1 16oz can of chickpeas (or soak dried chickpeas overnight)

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

1-2 cloves garlic, crushed

The juice of ½ a lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons Greek yogurt

 

Drain chickpeas and rinse under cold water.  Using your hands, remove the skin off the chickpeas – I find it easier to blend without the skins.  In a large bowl, crush the chickpeas with a hand blender or food processor.  Add the remaining ingredients.  Blend until thoroughly mixed and smooth.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with pita bread.  Store in the fridge.
