White Bean Jalapeno Hummus


A smooth alternative to tradition hummus made with chickpeas, this recipe is tart, spicy, and versatile.  I use it in sandwich wraps instead of mayo and as a dip with pita chips, crackers, or chips.



Ingredients:
15 oz. can Cannellini Beans, drained
2 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno, insides and stem removed
½ cup lemon juice
1/3 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
Salt/Pepper
Paprika and parsley for garnish 

Directions:

Puree all ingredients except garnish in food processor until smooth.  Served chilled.

*One of my favorite versions…add mashed ripe avocado and a little more salt!  Serve with chips.
