Homemade Hummus

Thanks to Mezzetta for sponsoring today’s recipe.

During the holidays the parties are endless! It is pretty exciting but also can add a bit of stress to these months. When asked to bring a snack to holiday parties, I tend to always go the healthier/ not dessert way. Most parties are overloaded with sweet treats (and I make sure to take part in enjoying those things!) but people also love a little something on the salty/ fresh side! Hummus is surprising easy to make and if you just add your favorite dipping veggies, Mezzetta olives, and pita chips – you are set to go with a dish that delights!

WHAT YOU NEED:
1 can of garbanzo beans/ chickpeas
2 tbs of fresh garlic
2 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs olive oil
1 tsp of kosher salt

HOW TO:
1. Combine and blend in a food processor. Make sure not to over blend. I use my Ninja blender when I make my hummus at home.
2. Serve and enjoy!

PAIR WITH:
