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.
