Hummus

3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4-1/2 C. plain yogurt
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1-2 tsp. olive oil
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 can chickpeas, or garbanzo beans, drained & rinsed
Ground paprika

1.  Combine all ingredients, except paprika, in a food processor and blend until smooth.  Add additional yogurt and/or olive oil if needed.
2.  Pour hummus into a serving bowl, sprinkle with paprika and serve immediately or let chill in the refrigerator for about an hour.

p.s.  Hummus is delicious when eaten with pita bread, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks and/or tomatoes.  You can also spread it on sandwiches or wraps instead of the usual condiments for a delightfully different taste!

p.s.s.  I've been searching for a hummus recipe for quite some time!  This recipe was originally in a magazine and after getting it from a family member I just made a few little adjustments and am quite happy with it.  :)
