Gluten Free Lemon Hummus

Need of game day snacks? Why not fresh hummus (pronounced huh-miss)! Delicious & creamy with a bright lemon taste, add crunchy fresh veggies-carrots, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini. Enjoy with gluten free crackers, pita chips, or flat bread. Gluten free, this will become your go-to snack recipe! Serves 6-8

Simple Ingredients:

· 1/4 cup Villa Graziella Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus extra for drizzling

· 1/2 teaspoon Villa Graziella Organic Tuscan Herb Seasoning Blend for Vegetables, plus extra to flavor

· 1-15 ounce can chickpea or garbanzo beans drained and rinsed

· ¼ cup Tahini paste, stirred well

· 2 fresh garlic cloves, chopped

· Juice of 2 medium lemons + extra to flavor

· ½ medium lemon zested

· Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Easy Directions:

1. Puree chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, tahini paste, and Tuscan herb Seasoning Blend for Vegetables in a blender or food processor on a low speed for 2 minutes. If hummus is too thick, add a bit of water for desired consistency.

2. Using a spatula scrape the sides to ensure ingredients are blended.

3. As the blender runs on low, slowly add olive oil and blend until silky smooth.

4. Using a spatula scrape the hummus into a bowl, drizzle olive oil on the top, garnish with parsley.

· Make ahead, cover in an airtight container, and refrigerate.

· Spread hummus over flatbread or pita bread for sandwiches.

· Cover and refrigerate, use within 4-5 days.
