Ina Garten's Hummus

I love hummus but I've never made it myself...until now. This was super easy to make and tastes so much better homemade. With fresh veggies and bread, this is the perfect spring lunch! To my WW peeps: 1/4 c of hummus is 4 points. 

Ingredients
4 garlic cloves
2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas
8 dashes hot sauce

For the bread:
1 roll of pizza rough
2 teaspoons EVOO
1 tbsp truffle salt

Directions for hummus:
Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it's minced. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Directions for bread:
Preheat oven to 450. Roll the pizza dough out and drizzle with EVOO. Use a brush to spread the EVOO evenly. Sprinkle with truffle salt. Let bake for 15/20 minutes. Cool and cut into strips. Serve with hummus!
