Hummus

Our version of this Middle-Eastern dip contains chickpeas, garlic, and raw sesame seeds. Its traditionally served with flatbread, but crackers and tortilla chips are great, too.

Ingredients

• 1 can (425 g) chickpeas, with 1/3 cup of liquid
• 2 Tablespoons (18 g) sesame seeds
• 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, optional
• ¼ each lemon, peeled
• 2 each garlic cloves, peeled
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• ¼ teaspoon salt, optional

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
2. Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.

Notes

Utilize the Vitamix for pulverizing tough sesame seeds right into your hummus blend, making it an even more accessible treat and saving you from purchasing tahini.
