Servings: Makes 10 Servings (1/4 cups each)

Ingredients

• 30 ounces canned chickpeas (2 cans)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon salt-free lemon pepper seasoning
• 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and place in a food processor or blender.
2. Put aside 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add remaining olive oil, juice from the lemon, lemon pepper seasoning and garlic powder to the chickpeas.
3. Process or blend until smooth.
4. Place in a bowl and top with the tablespoon of olive oil.

Other Tips and Ideas:

• If available, choose canned chickpeas that are low in salt.
• Instead of salt-free lemon pepper seasoning, try adding a teaspoon of dried cumin.
• Garlic powder can be replaced by 1 large garlic clove, minced, if desired.
• If the hummus is too thick for your liking, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your preferred texture.
• Serve hummus with cut up vegetables, cut up pita bread, low salt crackers, or use it in a sandwich or wrap.
