Description

Ingredients

• 2 Cans (15 oz each) of Garbanzo Beans (drained - but save that brine for future use)
• ⅓ Cup Whole Sesame Seeds (or Tahini)
• ¼ Cup Olive Oil
• ¼ Cup Lemon Juice (or juice from approx. 2 Fresh Lemons)
• 1 Fresh Clove of Garlic (peeled)
• 1 Teaspoon Salt (I use Himalayan Pink Salt -which is a little less salty)
• ½ Teaspoon Onion Powder
• ¼ Teaspoon Fresh Ground Pepper (or to taste)
• 1 Can (5-6 Oz) Black Olives PLUS half can of the Olive Juice (approx. ½ cup) - drain half liquid from can - reserve the rest for recipe.

Directions

• Place all ingredients EXCEPT the Olives & Olive Juice in Vitamix & blend on Variable speed 10 / High until completely smooth - approx. 30-60 seconds. Use your tamper to push everything down into the blades for a more even blend.
• Once the mixture is smooth, add in the Olives & reserved Olive Juice & blend again on Variable Speed 10 - using your tamper - until everything is well mixed & smooth.
• Using a Spatula or Scraper, place Hummus into serving dish or glass storage container with airtight lid. You can serve the Hummus immediately, or keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
