Recipe: Simple Summer Hummus

Saturday was hot, hot, hot and I was busy with house chores all day. When lunch time came, I was craving something simple and light. I took my classic hummus recipe and added a summer twist. If you’d like to try it yourself, you’ll need:

• chick peas (also called garbanzo beans)
• extra virgin olive oil
• minced garlic
• 1/2 grapefruit
• dill weed spice

Drain and rinse chick peas. Using a fork or a blender, mash chick peas to desired consistency. Add a couple spoonfuls of olive oil. Add a couple spoonfuls of garlic. Squeeze in juice from grapefruit. Sprinkle in dill weed spice. Blend once more.

Use your hummus for dipping veggies or serve on toast with a slice of cheese. Enjoy!
