Low Fat Greek Hummus - cooking recipe

    1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (save liquid) or (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (save liquid)
    1 -2 garlic clove, crushed
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 tablespoon tahini (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBLS) or 1 tablespoon low-fat peanut butter, if you prefer (optional, but if you do not use, increase yogurt by 1 TBLS)
    1/2 cup plain yogurt
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon cumin
    1 pinch cayenne
Preparation
    In a food processor combine beans, tahini (if desired), yogurt, garlic, and lemon juice. Blend well. Add salt, cumin and cayenne and blend to a smooth and creamy dip.
    If you hummus is too thick, add a little bit of the liquid from the chickpeas - about a teaspoon at time. Other ways to thin out hummus is by using warm water or olive oil also.
