Easy Homemade Hummus

A couple of years ago, I tried making my own hummus.  It turned out ok, but I hated that I had to buy this whole big jar of Tahinni and then it would go bad before I need to use it again.  I resorted to buying my hummus again.

Then a good friend gave me a recipe that was a Tahinni-Free recipe!  I jumped for joy and put my Tastefully Simple products to work.  The beauty of this recipe is that it can be adjusted to your favorite tastes!  If you like garlic flavor, add Garlic Garlic.  If you like a spicy hummus, add Fiesta Party Dip Mix.  Play around with your favorite spices and get fresh hummus for your family!

Today I made a recipe that called for hummus, so instead of buying it, I went ahead and made it below - today's recipe is plain with no mix-in.

First Evelyn and I gathered the ingredients.  Roasted Garlic Infused Oil, Greek Yogurt, Can of Chick Peas, Garlic Pepper Seasoning

Then I drained and rinsed the chick peas and placed them in the blender.

Next, I added to the blender the remaining ingredients (oil, garlic pepper, and yogurt).

Puree until it is a nice, smooth consistency.  This may take a couple of minutes.


That was it!  Super easy and tasty!!  I had to take one for the team and taste-test it, so I topped some cucumber slices with the hummus.


What do you like to dip into your hummus?

Recipe:


Ingredients:
1 can chick peas
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 Tablespoon Garlic Pepper
2 Tablespoons of favorite flavor (Garlic Garlic, Fiesta Party Dip Mix)

Directions:
Drain and rinse chick peas.  Place chick peas along with all ingredients n blender.  Puree until it is no longer chunky.  Enjoy!
