Dried Tomato Hummus




This isn't the first time that I've made hummus....

But, it IS the first time I've made it in my Vitamix!! ;) It can be made in a regular blender or a food processor. I had a very small baby food processor that I used to make it before the Vitamix.

If you like Hummus, then you've got to make it! Not only is it healthier, but it's cheaper!!!

You can also put pretty much anything in this! I am stuck on the dried tomato with garlic right now! The kiddos really like it too!!!

You can also buy cans of garbanzo beans, or you can buy the dried ones and soak them... I haven't tried soaking them yet, but want to try it that way too!



Add all ingredients to blender and blend until the consistency you want!


Viola! All done!


Sooooo good!!! :D

Dried Tomato and Garlic Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans, half of the juice still in can
1 -2 cloves of garlic
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder (you don't have to add this if you don't want too)
5 dried tomatoes (I just bought a small jar of it and dig out a few of them! You can add more of less!)

Add all ingredients into blender and blend until the consistency you want. Just add a bit of water if you need it a bit more thin.

Serve with crackers, veggies, chips, or on a tortilla!
