By Robyne Gray

• 1-15 oz. can chickpeas
• 2 cloves garlic - crushed
• 1⁄4 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
• 2 Tbs olive oil
• 3 Tbs FRESH lemon juice
• 1⁄4 cup water or more if too thick after blending
• 1⁄4 tsp paprika
• 1⁄2 tsp cumin
• 1⁄4 tsp salt (or more to taste)

Blend till very smooth. If you have a good blender you can use raw sesame seeds(1/4 C) instead of tahini. Serve with whole wheat pita bread.
