Hummus

As per my sister's request here is a lighter dinner recipe!

I love hummus! It is quick and healthy. All you need is a big greek salad to go with and you have a perfect weeknight meal! It is especially good in the summer when you don't want to turn on the oven. Well I had to turn it on for a  couple of minutes to toast the pita but you get my drift.

Ingredients:

1 can of chickpeas, drained

2 tbsp lemon juice

3 cloves of garlic

1-2 tbsp of olive oil

1 tsp of salt

Pepper to taste

2 tbsp of tahini

2 tbsp of feta cheese (this is my secret ingredient, adds a nice creaminess and flavor, you can leave it out if you like!)

Drain the chickpeas and add them to the bowl of a food processor,

Add the garlic,

squeeze in the lemon juice, salt & pepper,

now add the tahini,

toss in the feta cheese,

now add 1 tablespoon of olive oil,

Blend until smooth. Drizzle in the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil if needed to get the right consistency. You want a nice creamy smooth mixture.

Serve with some lightly toasted pita bread and a fresh greek salad!

I forgot to take a picture of my greek salad but just toss together some tomato, cucumber, red onion, green pepper, crumbled feta and some black olives if you like them.

Add a little salt and pepper and a pinch of oregano. Drizzle on a little olive oil and a splash of red wine vinegar.

It is the perfect healthy supper!

Hope you like it!
