No Fuss Hummus

Hummus is an absolutely fantastic snack food companion. You can buy it premade in the store but why? It's so easy to make on your own. This recipe is dedicated to my friend Lorata who is happily living in Japan right now... too many miles away from tasty hummus. I'm sorry I wish I could UPS you some. Alas the best I can do is post the easiest recipe for it ever.

No Fuss Hummus

• 1 can chickpeas (15 oz)
• 1/4 C liquid drained from chickpeas
• 2 T lemon juice
• 4 garlic cloves (or to taste)
• dash salt

Put everything into the blender and mix. Seriously. That easy.

** Traditional hummus recipes call for tahini and oil. I don't like tahini, and I don't use much oil when I cook. So... I didn't use either.

Hummus can be served with chips, pita, veggies, you can put it in a wrap, anything. My personal favorites are with homemade taco chips (as pictured below) or with celery.
