Ingredients
4 roasted cloves of garlic
1 can (16oz) of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2 tbsp of low fat plain yogurt
1/2 lemon juice
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
cilantro
salt
pepper
Preparation
In a food processor, mix the roasted garlic. Then add the cilantro, the chickpeas, and yogurt. Mix them together. Add salt, pepper, the juice of the lemon, cayenne pepper, cumin, and extra virgin olive oil. Mix them together until it is creamy or to your taste. It is ready!
You can serve it with chips, pita bread, or fresh vegetables. In the video, I serve it with carrots, celery and red bell peppers for a healthy option.
Buon Appetito!

Hummus is outstanding! Especially liked the little kick provided by the cayenne pepper.

Another fantastic confection, rruly delicious! For those that enjoy a little kick in their dip, do not make the cayenne pepper optional.
I look forward to having more tomorrow!
Thanks again!
