I prepared this hummus to go along with the pita I bought from a recent trip to a pita factory. I especially liked how the addition of lemon juice really made the hummus more light and refreshing. This is great to have on hand, especially if you have guests coming over and need an easy appetizer!


3/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt


In a food processor, add all the ingredients above and process until smooth. Serve with pita or fresh vegetables.
