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.
