Low Fat Hummus

Ingredients

One 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained (buy the more expensive brand as it will contain less husks)
1/2 cup plain nonfat or lowfat yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

This is where you add your own seasoning or not. I like just plain old garlic flavor in which case you don't need to add any additional seasonings.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin & 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice or;
  • 1 teaspoon taco seasoning or;
  • Greek seasoning or;
  • Italian seasoning or;
  • Etc.

Directions

In a food processor or blender, puree all the ingredients. If texture isn't quite hummus like, add a tablespoon at a time more yogurt until you get the right consistency. Serve with corn chips or pita bread.
