Homemade Hummus

 I actually got this recipe off a can of beans, and love it!

Ingredients:
1 can garbanzo beans
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt



Directions:
Reserving liquid, drain beans. Puree all ingredients, adding reserved bean liquid until desired consistency is reached (I use 1-2 tablespoons).

If you divide it into fourths, each serving has about 140 calories. A lot of people eat it with pita bread, but since I'm trying to have fewer carbs, I like to eat it with a serving of baby carrots of slices of fresh jicama. It comes out to about 200 calories, which I find to be a very satisfying and healthy snack.
