Healthy Hummus
The yogurt in this recipe gives the hummus an untraditional texture, but the flavor is true hummus!
Serves: 1 3/4 cups (1 Tablespoon servings)
Ingredients:
- 1 can (19 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained, or 2 cups cooked chickpeas
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
- 3-4 tablespoons toasted sesame tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon crushed fresh garlic
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
- Place the chickpeas, yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor, and process until smooth, scraping down the sides occasionally.
