Ingredients
2 cans of reduced sodium chickpeas/garbanzo beans (I used Bush's)1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (yes, it matters. i have used bottled in a pinch though)3 Tbsp tahini2 Tbsp Olive Oil1 tsp saltgenerous sprinkle of cumin and paprika, opt. (I'm guessing I use about 1/8 tsp)
Directions
Dump all ingredients into food processor and blend. Eat immediately or refrigerate at least a couple hours for even more delicious flavor. Also freezes well.

Tip for the lemon juice (because it really does make a huge difference that it's fresh): buy a big batch of lemons, juice them, and freeze the juice in ice cube trays. Keep them in the freezer then defrost as needed.
