Hummus.... It's what's for lunch!

Hello, Sarah here!

Below are my own hummus variations. Same methods used as Briana's Plain Hummus (opening beans, drain and rinse! Combine all items in food processor..etc) just different beans and spices. Hummus is one of those "morphing" creations as I try something new almost every time and I am never disapointed! I will share a few below but want you to know adding a little fresh tomato, kale, spinach or onion to different batches makes a delicious variation and sneaks some extra veggies in your meal!

Dill Hummus (pictured here)

This is about as crazy as I like to get with my hummus! This is my husbands creation and we love it! It is the only hummus I add greek yogurt to. I usually do a double batch because one can is just not enough for this hummus loving family!

Dill Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans (drain and rinse)

2 tablespoons of plain greek yogurt

1 splash of unsweetened (unflavored too!) almond milk

1-2 tablespoons of dill

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 clove of garlic (whole just toss it in!)

Sea salt

Use the measurements above and toss all ingredients into food processor and blend!

If your mixture is to chunky and thick add a splash more of olive oil or almond milk.

Serve with veggies (following the dirty dozen and clean 15 rules!) or delicious on our MRL Oatmeal Honey Bread with tuna and dijon mustard baked as an open-face sandwich.

Cajun Hummus

This is my go to hummus. My favorite! I use it on everything and love to have it for lunch. Again delicious on the Oatmeal Honey Bread with tuna as an open-faced sandwich. You can also make a grilled hummus wrap (instead of a grilled cheese) using lots of veggies (onion, spinach, tomato, sprouts, mushrooms, olives too) and 3/4 cup of hummus as the filling!

Cajun Hummus

1 can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans (same thing)

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 clove of garlic (or if using minced use a teaspoon or go by taste)

a few grinds of sea salt and pepper if you wish

Cajun seasoning(I use about a tablespoon but season to yours taste)

*If you have the spice on hand, add a dash of turmeric for health benefits!

If your mixture is too chunky and thick add a splash more of olive oil or almond milk.

You can sub out the cajun for any seasoning. Crushed red pepper is another good one. How about leaving out the cajun and just doing salt, tomato and spinach! There are so many fun ways to enjoy hummus! I hope you give this a try!

Enjoy Mamas!
