I like preparing hummus because it's easy, versatile, it stores very well and it's YUMMY!

I, personally am not on a diet, I just think hummus tastes really good and I love it. All the nutritional benefits of HOMEMADE hummus is just a bonus. If you're thinking of buying hummus, please reconsider making your own.
Here is my slightly different version of this delicious ancient Middle Eastern dip,
What you'll need:
- piece of gyro bread (you can use pita or any type of flatbread!)
Hummus
- 2 cans of chickpeas/garbanzo beans drained and rinsed
- 2 cloves of garlic whole
- 1/4 C extra virgin olive oil (give or take)
- juice of half a lemon
- pinch of salt & pepper to taste
- chopped green onions for garnish
Heat up oil in a pan until medium-high heat. Add whole garlic clove and let it sit until lightly brown on the edges (we want garlic to infuse flavor into the oil!). This will also take away a little bit of the super spiciness of fresh garlic, but if you wouldn't mind that, skip the infusion process.
In a food processor or blender, combine all the ingredients until creamy paste forms. (Make sure to taste test and add more or less of any of the ingredients to fit your liking!)
Spread over toasted flatbread and for more flavor, garnish with chopped fresh green onions.
Enjoy!
