1 can white beans, drained
1/2 c evoo
2 lemons, zest & juice
1/4 c more lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 T fresh thyme

1. in a food processor {go with the original food processor.  promise.}, process the garbanzo beans & white beans.  slowly add oil & lemon zest & lemon juice.  add enough until it's the thickness or thinness you like.  i like thin.  you might like thick.  we can still get a long.

2. when you are at your desired texture, add the garlic, thyme, & salt.  continue blending until your hummus is completely smooth & delicious!  serve with veggies & wheat thins.

wonderful friends.  lovely treats.  & great fellowship.
