What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Country Casual Cravings: Lemon Garlic Hummus! If you go crazy over hummus and veggies, here’s a variation that adds flavorful notes of citrus. The use of pink-colored Himalayan salt equals an added bonus of less sodium than table salt plus trace elements of healthy minerals like iron, which translates to protein that maintains good body chemistry. But that’s the boring news. The best part, in my opinion, is the guilt-free buttery taste of hummus. Discover how one creamy spoonful practically melts in your mouth. Then scoop away with crisp and zesty radish slices. It’s finger food on steroids.
LEMON GARLIC HUMMUS
Ingredients:
15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained, hulls removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Paprika, toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Radish slices, for serving
Instructions:
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, pink Himalayan salt, and sesame oil. Press Pulse to blend until very smooth. If necessary, add a tablespoon of water to create a smoother consistency. Transfer hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkling of paprika and toasted sesame seeds. Serve with sliced radishes.

I always have my own hummus in the refrigerator, it’s so good, and lemon is a wonderful touch. I like your idea of the toasted sesame seeds! I’ll certainly give it go!

Careful. Once you have toasted sesame seeds on hand……they get sprinkled on almost everything. 😍
