Creamy homemade hummus —a classic Mediterranean dip perfect for sharing.

Ingredients:

• 15 ounce can chickpeas/garbanzo, rinsed and drained well
• juice from 1 lemon about 1/4 cup
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 1-2 cloves garlic very finely minced
• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for drizzling
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
• minced fresh parsley

Instructions:

• In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, salt, garlic and yogurt. Process for 1 minute, then open the food processer and scrape the sides. Process for another minute.
• While the processor is running, pour in the olive oil. Taste and check for smooth consistency.
• If the hummus is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water.
• Just before serving, sprinkle with smoked paprika, fresh parsley and drizzle with additional olive oil.
• Enjoy on pita bread, fresh vegetables like carrots and cucumbers, or as a spread in sandwiches and wraps!
