Quick and Easy Hummus

Sunday night I was still feeling the effects of a book club meeting full of delicious goodies, so I opted for something light-- a quick and easy hummus and a whole lot of celery to dip in it. Hummus can be made approximately a bajillion different ways, and I think I even make it slightly differently every time but a few things stay the same. It is always easy and it is always delicious!

This time, I got out my trusty food processor and threw in:
- a can of chick peas (drained and rinsed)
- a spoonful of this Moroccan almond paste I have (in place of Tahini)
- the juice of one lemon
- cumin, cayenne, garlic powder (b/c I was out of the real thing... pathetic), and sea salt
- enough olive oil to make it my desired consistency (I added this as it blended)
- a dash of paprika on top

The whole thing took about 3 minutes and it was a fantastic little snack. I had some today with flat bread, turkey breast, and tomato for lunch. Yum!
