SUPER SIMPLE HUMMUS
Until about 2 years ago, I would never try anything new. I was a ham-and-cheese kind of girl. Then one day at Epcot, my sister persuaded me to try the food in the Morocco pavilion. I was feeling adventerous so I got the sampler platter consisting of a gyro-like sandwich, some falafel, hummus, tabouleh, and citrus lentil salad. Well, I had certainly been missing out! Everything was delicious, uh, except the lentils. Now, I am addicted. I snack on veggies dipped in hummus, warm pita dipped in hummus, and I even use hummus in place of mayo on wraps and sandwiches. This hummus recipe is very basic but you can easily tweak it to suit your taste.

Steps:
- Reserving 1/4 cup liquid from can, drain chickpeas in a colander. Rinse well under cold water then shake off excess water.
- Process chickpeas and reserved liquid, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cayenne, and 1 1/4 tsp salt in food processor.
- Transfer mixture to a serving dish. If desired, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with paprika.
- For variety, I sometimes add finely chopped cucumber (seeds removed and patted dry) and dill. Or I like to add finely chopped olives (black, green, kalamata).
