I have always wanted to make fresh hummus! I never realized how much cheaper it would be to make my own. All you need is a can of chickpeas, a lemon and some common spices. Enjoy! ~Ali You will need...
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Garnishes such as chopped green onions, chopped olives and chopped tomato (optional)

1. Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Place chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, red pepper and salt in food processor; cover. Process until smooth, scraping down sides as necessary. Add reserved liquid; process until smooth.
2. Spoon hummus into serving bowl. Drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with toppings as desired. Serve with pita chips or warm pita wedges. Store hummus in airtight container in refrigerator up to 2 days.
