Red Pepper Hummus

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

Did you have your beans today?

Consuming one cup per day is recommended.

It is incredibly easy to whip together a delicious dip for snack, lunch, or dinner. If you already have the ingredients in the house, it only takes about fifteen minutes to assemble and whip.

This version walks on the lighter side (compared to classic hummus) due to the addition of a jar of red peppers.

INGREDIENTS

1 can (15.5 oz.) chick peas ~ drained and rinsed to remove most of the bubbling foam. If you are trying to get away from canned goods, soak and boil your beans

1 jar (12 oz.) roasted red peppers ~ drained and rinsed to remove salt

1 T. lemon juice

1/4  to 1/3 c. Tahini sesame paste (less if trying to lose weight)

1 t. garlic powder (better than using fresh garlic because it disperses better) 

DIRECTIONS

Combine all ingredients and whip with an immersion blender until smooth .

Forget the usual crackers and enjoy with sliced veggies for added nutritional wallop OR try it Devin’s way as a layer on a Veggie Burger and spinach sandwich.

YUM!
