Hummis Bi Tahini

1. Combine first five ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Add chickpeas and seasonings and blend to puree.
3. Taste and adjust flavors to suit (I usually like a little more lemon.
4. ). The mixture you get before adding the chickpeas is also delicious, although extremely strong in garlic :>). Use a bit less garlic, thin with water and you've got a delicious salad dressing.
5. Unfortunately, a very high fat salad dressing, though.
