Lemon Basil Hummus Dip

We are going through a hummus phase here. Have to have it at every get-together. The store brands are great! This is a quick, simple dip you can whip up in about 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. black pepper
• Pretzel Crisps, pita chips or crudite

Directions:

Drain the chickpeas, reserving 1 Tablespoon liquid. Rinse the chickpeas with cold water and drain well.

Place the chickpeas, reserved liquid, basil, garlic, lemon juice, oil, salt and pepper into a food processor. Cover and process until the mixture is smooth.
