For anyone who doesn't like to eat meat every day, legumes are a great source of plant protein. Serve this hummus with rice crackers or fresh veggie slices for a healthy snack. For a lightlunch, stuff in pita bread with baby spinach leaves. For a zesty, enticing dip, puree guacamole into the mixture.

Ingredients
Makes about 3 1/2 cups
1-3 garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (15-ounce) garbanzo beans, drained, liquid reserved
1 tablespoon orange peel, minced
Salt and white pepper, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon peel, minced

Directions
1. In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, olive oil, sesame seeds, tahini, lemon
juice, and garbanzo beans (reserve about a tablespoon of beans for garnish). Blend,
adding reserved garbanzo-bean liquid if needed until hummus reaches desired
consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
 
2. Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Garnish in the middle with reserved
garbanzo beans. Sprinkle orange and lemon peel around the beans. Chill in the
refrigerator, tightly covered, until ready to serve.
