Lemon Garlic Hummus

I can eat hummus all day.  The best ever is from a town called Abu Ghosh, known as the "Hummus Capital of Israel."  In January 2010, Abu Ghosh secured the Guinness World Record for the largest dish of hummus in the world, which 50 Jewish and Israeli-Arab chefs cooked together. The winning 20-foot dish weighed 8992.5 pounds!  I don't plan to come close to topping that, but I've been experimenting with home made hummus for a while now.  I love the lemony garlic flavor of this one.

1 15-oz can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
2 tablespoons cup olive oil

3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon salt

 

Drain garbanzo beans into a cup.  In a food processor, combine all ingredients (other than bean liquid) and process until smooth. Add a couple of tablespoons liquid as needed to obtain desired consistency, and additional salt to your preference.  Transfer to a small bowl. Serve with veggies, crackers, and/or pita.
