Jalapeño Garlic Hummus

This happened today: Jalapeño Garlic Hummus. We worked out hard and I knew just the trick to refuel our bodies. White beans, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, spicy jalapeño slices were just the ticket. Imagine this dip with pita bread, vegetable sticks, veggie chips, paired with a Greek salad...how will or would you eat it? I used to buy a tub of hummus from the health food store and would be shocked at how we'd eat it all in one sitting, this batch was no different, it's all gone! This could easily serve 4 as a snack, we just couldn't stop! Enjoy. Love, Christa

Peaceful Preparation:

1. Blend White Beans, Lemon Juice, Garlic, 1/2 Large Jalapeño (more or less as desired), 1 to 1 1/2 tsp Sea Salt & Black Pepper.
2. Blend, scrape, blend - repeating until smooth. Opt to add the olive oil for extra creaminess, however it is not required.
3. Place in a bowl. I surrounded ours with extra beans, the balance of the jalapeño with a touch of paprika and red pepper flakes. Delicious!
