Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 cloves garlic*, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 large basil leaves
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for drizzling on top
  • Water to thin, if necessary

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make your hummus: add beans, garlic, lemon juice, basil, salt and pepper in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a couple of times until the mixture looks somewhat chopped. Add in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil while the machine is still running. Let process until the mixture is creamy.
  2. If the mixture appears to be too thick, add in a tablespoon of water at a time to thin it out. Add more salt and pepper to taste, as necessary. Drizzle the top with a tiny bit of olive oil. Serve with extra basil on top and pita chips.
