1-2-3 Artichoke Hummus

Not much to say except, this recipe was good enough to draw me from my blogging slumber. I love to make my own hummus, but sometimes its a little hard to find tahini, and it can be a bit expensive. Enter goddess dressing.  Essentially hummus without the beans. Tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and seasonings. It's easy to find, and only $1.99 a bottle at Trader Joe's. Because of this dressing I now have a recipe that only requires three ingredients and about five minutes of work. YES. 

 I will be honest and say, don't think it's as piquant as traditional hummus, but it's on the better side of decent. I also think it is easy to mess around with the flavoring (i.e. garlic, roasted peppers, etc.).




Three Ingredient Hummus
1- 15 oz can of chickpeas
1/3 cup Goddess Dressing (either Trader Joe's brand or Annie's brand)
1/2- 12 oz jar of marinated artichokes

Drain chickpeas and dump them into a food processor. Add the goddess dressing. Fish out about half the jar of artichoke hearts with a fork and add those to the food processor too. Add 2 tablespoons of the artichoke marinade to the food processor. Process for about a minute and a half, until it is smooth. Et, voila! Hummus! If it's too chunky or thick, add more dressing or marinade until it is to your liking.
