Why I'll Never Buy Hummus Again

You guys.  Hummus is SO. EASY. TO. MAKE.  Plus you can flavor it with any flavor you'd like.  I have a basil plant that had an abundance of leaves that needed to be used asap.  So I decided to use it up and make basil hummus.  It's delicious and super simple.

(I'm super proud of myself for not killing this thing yet...I tend to kill plants easily). 

These are the basic ingredients, but feel free to add things like garlic, peppers, pine nuts, artichoke...there are so many options!!

• 1 can of garbanzo beans
• 1 cup of fresh basil leaves
• 2 tbsp of lemon juice
• 2 tbsp of tahini
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• 1 tbsp of water
• salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Add garbanzo beans and basil leaves to food processor.  Pulse until chopped. 
2. Add remaining ingredients and blend until creamy.

Use as a dip or spread.  That's it, it's so easy and with the exception of tahini, I almost always have those ingredients on hand.
