Black-Eyed Pea Hummus

If you’re looking for a healthy snack to carry some good luck into the new year, then black-eyed pea hummus is the way to go. This nutritious and tasty dip only takes minutes to whip up in the food processor, and it’s great paired with low-carb pita bread or veggies.

Ingredients
2 15-ounce cans black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
2 teaspoons minced garlic
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2-1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons tahini sauce
Water to thin hummus if needed
Powdered sumac or paprika

Directions
Purée the peas in a food processor for about one minute with the garlic, lemon juice, salt and olive oil. Add the ground cumin and tahini, and process until combined. If the hummus is too thick, add some water a little bit at a time, processing afterward, until you reach the desired consistency.
Put hummus into a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with ground sumac or paprika. Hummus will keep in the fridge for at least a week.
