LITE HUMMUS SPREAD

1 (15 oz.) can garbanzo beans, drained, reserving 6 Tbsp. of the liquid
1 Tbsp. sesame tahini
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 to 2 cloves garlic (depending on your love of garlic!)
1/2 tsp. olive oil
Paprika
Fresh ground black pepper
Salt to taste (optional)

Blend the beans, reserved liquid, tahini, lemon juice and garlic together in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a bowl and drizzle the olive oil on top. Sprinkle with paprika, black pepper and, if desired, salt.

This recipe makes a little more than a cup -- a good amount of dip for four people.
