Healthy Spicy Hummus | Healthy Easy Appetizer

Whenever I need a quick appetizer, I make this healthy, spicy, low calorie hummus.  It’s quick to make and I serve it with some colorful green, yellow and orange bell peppers.

Put these ingredients into a food processor and start to blend:

•  1 can chickpeas, mostly drained (but not all the way)
• 1 can other creamy white bean, mostly drained (but not all the way)
• 2 tbls tahini paste
• 1 tsp crushed red peppers  (or more if you like it even spicier)
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• course sea salt to taste

 

Drizzle in while food processor is going:

•  EVOO to make as creamy as you like (I don’t measure it, but it’s probably about 1/8 cup).  It depends on how much of the bean juice you left in the can.  The more bean juice you have, the less EVOO you need — a healthy, low calorie substitution.  But don’t replace all the EVOO!
• 1/8 cup lemon juice or more to taste

 

Stop food processor:

Taste and adjust salt and lemon juice as desired.

Start food processor to combine anything you added.

 

Keeps for about 1 week in the fridge.
