Throw in a food processor/blender until smooth. I took a half a can of olives, chopped them up, then folded them into it to add a little body. I also blended in a jalepeno pepper. The possibilities are pretty endless but it's a good and cheap snack combined with some nonfat whole wheat pita or any other dipping medium.
I've got into making hummus and have been doing it a LOT for the last year. I don't use olive oil though (leave a bit of juice from can of chick peas or salad dressing for the little bit of juice you need).
- 1 can chick peas (garbonzo beans)
- 1 clove garlic (more, but it can get spicy...do NOT overdo it with garlic, trust me).
- 1/2 onion (only if you want to get more hot tingle)
Optional Spices to play with
- Curry Powder
- Cummin Seed
- Roasted Red Pepper sald dressing (forgot who makes it, but its almost no fat)
- Other salad dressings whose flavor appeal
