Basic Hummus

Hummus is a traditional dish in Greece, many other Mediterranean countries, parts of the Middle East, and in India. Garbanzo beans are a good source of folate (folic acid) and contain a good amount of fiber-both are heart healthy. The sesamin in sesame seeds has been found to lower inflammation and cholesterol.

Ingredients
1 can (15 ounces) garbanzo beans, drained (reserve broth)
1 to 2 tablespoons organic raw tahini (sesame seed paste)
3 tablespoons lemon juice, adjust to taste
1 to 2  large garlic cloves, adjust to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
 salt to taste
Directions
Place all the ingredients in a blender until smooth, adjusting the lemon juice and garlic to taste. A little of the reserved bean broth may need to be added to achieve the desired consistency.
Chef Suggestions
Serve with a tray of colorful raw vegetables, such as broccoli, summer squash, peppers, cauliflower, carrots or cherry tomatoes.
