GARLIC-LEMON HUMMUS

1 12-oz can garbanzo beans
1 cloves garlic
2-3 tbsp tahini sauce (sesame paste)
juice of 1 small lemon
zest of 1 small lemon
½ tsp salt
4 tablespoons of garbanzo bean liquid
EVOO for drizzling

Drain the liquid from the can of garbanzo beans into a small bowl. Set aside for later use.
Blend garbanzo beans in a food processor. Add garlic, tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt. Blend for 1-2 minutes until a smooth, slightly fluid paste is formed. Add 4 tablespoons of garbanzo bean liquid to create a more fluid consistency.

Cut pitas into chip sizes and brush with olive oil. Toast until crispy. Garnish hummus with olive oil and serve with pita chips and/or veggies.
