Herb Garlic Hummus

(Modified from Food Network)

Ingredients

* 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
* 1 clove garlic
* 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
* 6 fresh basil leaves
* 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
* 1 teaspoon honey
* juice from 1 lemon
* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
* 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
* Options for dipping: carrot sticks, sliced cucumber and whole-wheat pita chips

(Bake your own pita chips by pizza slicing whole-wheat pitas, and pulling apart the halves if you are using the kind with a pocket, spray with canola oil, lightly salt, and bake for about 7 minutes at 400 degrees, or until they start to brown. Easy-peasy.)

Directions

Place ingredients in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until smooth.

Serve with dippers.
