Lemon Chick Pea Dip (not quite hummus)
Rachel Ray
Mix in food processor :
1 can chick peas rinsed and drained
Lemon and juice of one lemon
2 large thyme stalks (pull the leaves off backwards)
1 large garlic clove minced
Hot sauce or pepper flakes to taste
pinch of salt
While processor is on, drizzle in 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil until hummus consistency is achieved.
* I have made this multiple times and it is delicious! the lemon flavor is there but not overpowering, it also works well as a sandwich spread. Light enough for appetizer, also good as a side dish.
It is not quite hummus because there is no tahini. I don't like the gritty texture of tahini so I don't add it. Also, if you're trying to watch your fat intake this is a good recipe because tahini has a high fat content

I definitely do want to try this!!
I made this last night and it was delish! I just zested the lemon and used dried thyme instead of fresh and it worked out great!
