Hummus (Just lie to yourself and pretend its not healthy)

I would put up a picture, however hummus is not a beautiful dish.  It falls under the category of ways my mother would trick us to eat healthy.  I would never imagine a dish that would involve the disgusting little creatures known as Chickpeas, but this healthy dish has the ability to trick you into thinking that it is just another pile of  dip out to widen your waistline.  In my quest to (somewhat) eat healthy I have come to love this snack with carrot and Kashi pita chips!

I highly recommend using a blender.  I feel like I am cheating on my mixer, but the blender is the only man for job when comes to making this dish creamy and smooth.

1 15.5 oz can chickpeas (drained)
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp ground cumin
sprinkle of salt
(sprinkle with paprika when serving)

Dump it all in the mixer and blend until smooth!
