Roasted Red Pepper Hummus- New Food Friday

With my new restrictions in my diet I have been searching for snack foods that I like that are dairy, gluten and soy free. Hummus is one of those snack foods I love. But I could go broke buying it at $5 a tub. Also some hummus that you find in the store are made with soybean oil. So my coworker gave me this basic recipe for making yummy yummy hummus. I have made it twice so far and I love it!

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

1- 15 oz can of cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp garlic cloves

3 Tbsp lemon juice (I like mine pretty tart, so you can start with 1-2 Tbsp and add more at the end if you think it needs it)

4 slices Roasted Red Bell Peppers

2 tsp salt

pepper to taste

(After I prepared this for the first time my coworker told me that it should also have tahini in it, I didn't add any because I liked it so much the first time)

Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth. Taste and add additional lemon juice, salt, pepper or olive oil to taste.

Chill and serve with crackers or pita bread.

I like mine with Almond Nut Thins because they are gluten free.

I will be linking up with some of these parties!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
