| Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus |

A few months ago we were at Costco and they had some "Sabra" hummus that you could try. I've always loved hummus, so i decided to try to make it. It could not have been more simple; or inexpensive.
Its such a refreshing summer snack that i love - and healthy too!
[Unfortunately I have no pictures of my hummus; sad day]
INGREDIENTS:
\\ 1 can garbanzo beans or chick peas 
\\ 1/4 C of the juice from the can of beans
\\ 2 T olive oil
\\ 3 to 5 T fresh lemon juice
\\ 2 cloves of garlic; crushed
\\ 1 1/2 T tahini
\\ 1/2 t salt
\\ 1 jalapeno; sliced
\\ 3/4 C fresh cilantro

DIRECTIONS:
I. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high for 3 minutes, or until hummus is completely smooth.
II. place in glass bowl and refrigerate until chilled

tips&&tricks; 
     \\ tahini is a paste made from sesame seeds; don't leave it out, or your hummus will not be the same.
     \\ i usually eat this with pita chips from trader joe's. its the perfect afternoon snack!
