Super Healthy Hummus

Kasha's Note:

Taken off a website, don't have the reference. An excellent hummus, the only one I make anymore. You really need a blender or food processor to get the consistency right. 1/4 cup = 1 point ww.

I kicked up the flavor a bit by adding about a tsp of lemon zest. I also added about a Tbsp of peanut butter because it lacked creaminess. Also got just a bit more of the traditional Tahini flavor with about 1/2 tsp of toasted sesame oil, and also added about 1/2 tsp of cumin. Overall, very good and easy to make with the food processor.

Another wonderful recipe to go into my Favorites! I like it with homemade tortilla chips. Cannot taste the yogurt. Thanks, Kasha. 5/14/10 update. Ha ha...didn't realize I had made this before and even reviewed it. Apparently I had better luck with it 2 1/2 yrs ago. Anyway, I only had a 14.5 oz can of chickpeas so reduced the recipe to serve 4, which called for 2 cloves of garlic. Well, all I can taste is the garlic, so my garlic cloves must be larger than normal. Also, it seemed to take forever to get this smooth. I ended up using all 6 oz of the yogurt and still had difficulty. Still 5 stars but I wanted others to know of the problems I ran into so they can make adjustments if necessary.
