1) My favorite hummus recipe - Basic Hummus
1 Can Eden Foods No Salt Added Garbanzo Beans, rinsed and drained.
~1/4 cup water
~1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
Blend in food processor or blender
Adjust water & lemon juice to the consistency you like.
To make it spicier, add in some hot red pepper flakes.
To make it chunkier, only blend about 2/3 of the can, and mash the remaining 1/3 by hand, and then add in
Optional - to make it really creamy, blend in 1-3 tsps of either unsalted tomato paste, cooked sweet potato or tahini.
2) My favorite salad dressing recipe - Creamy Garlic Dill Dressing
1 Can Eden Foods No Salt Added Butter Beans, drained (save the drained bean liquid).
4 (-6) Tbsp bean liquid
2 (-3) Tbsp plain vinegar or balsamic vinegar or lemon juice
1/2 (-1) tsp garlic powder
1/2 (-1) tsp dried dill weed
Blend in food processor or blender till creamy.
Adjust the amount of bean water & vinegar/lemon juice to the consistency you like.
Adjust the amount of garlic & dill to the flavor you like.
Any white bean will work but I find butter beans make the creamiest dressing.
I also use this on baked potatoes!
Enjoy!
