Here is how you make Hummus, South Beach Diet Recipe:

My blender can do one serving easily, but isn't strong enough to do a double batch.Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/4 to 1/2 C of the liquid. (I just used water and I liked it better)Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, onion, garlic, oil, cumin, pepper (dried parsley) and salt in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth, adding the chickpea liquid (water) if needed to thin the puree (Mine always needs the water).Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving to blend the flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley if using.Serves 5, 251 Cal, 8g protein, 23g carb, 16g fat, 2g sat fat, 447 mg sod, 0 mg chol, 5g fiberServing Size: 8 quarter cup servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user JESSLYN73.
