White Bean Red Pepper Hummus

   Making your own hummus is super easy, and beans contain a lot of protein.  This makes a great snack, or you can add it on top of chicken or a salad. Traditional hummus is made with chickpeas which you can find cans, I used white beans, which also come in a can.  You can add tahini, which is like a sesame nut butter, you would find that in the aisle next to the other nut butters. If you want, you can add in roasted red peppers ( I got these jarred), or you can add in sun dried tomatoes.  Mix it up with whatever you like!

Tip: If the hummus comes out too thick, add a little more water until smooth.

Healthy tip: Beans contain a good amount of protein and fiber.  Fiber is good for lowering cholesterol, and for healthy digestion.

Ingredients:
  • 1 can of white beans or chickpeas
  • 2 Tbsp of tahini (from sesame seeds)
  • 1/2 tsp of cumin (optional)
  • 1/2 lemon fresh squeezed
  • 2 large roasted red peppers, or 2 Tbsp of sun dried tomatoes
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt

Recipe
  1. Put all ingredients into a food processor ( I like cuisinart)
  2. Mix together until smooth.
Serve on top of veggies, with pita bread, add to chicken, save it in the fridge for the week! Enjoy :)
