Healthy Recipe of the Week

Last week’s recipe featured a guacamole variation. This week we’re staying with a dip or spread, but with more protein. It’s quick to prep with minimal ingredients!

Hummus is a great go-to healthy snack or add-on to any meal to sneak in a bit more plant-based protein. I personally love adding hummus (of any variety: plain, garlic, peppered, or mediterranean, to name a few) to a slice of whole wheat bread or tortilla (Try Ezekiel 4:9!).

Six-Ingredient Hummus

Ingredients

• 1 cup No-Salt-Added Chickpeas (canned and drained)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice
• 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tablespoon Tahini
• 1 Garlic Clove (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt
• Paprika, to taste (*optional)

Directions

Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, garlic, and salt in a food processor or high powered blender. Process until smooth. For a bit of color and a subtle pepper taste, top with a sprinkle of paprika. 

Yields: 1 cup (16 tablespoons)
