White Bean and Balsamic Hummus

Hummus is without a doubt one of my favorite things to put on sandwiches, plop in wraps, or dip veggies and pita bread in. Sometimes I can actually just lick it off a spoon; it almosts taste like mashed potatoes! Which leads me to believe that hummus is on the verge of becoming a new comfort food. 

One of my goals for the summer is to experiment with new hummus flavors and make my own recipes. I recently saw a recipe for hummus that used white beans along with garbanzo beans, and I thought: "Hey! I wanna try that!" White beans (also known as Great Northern Beans) are one of my favorite types to eat because of their soft consistency. 

White Bean and Balsamic Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans
• 1 (15 oz) can white beans
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Few squirts lemon juice

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Scoop hummus into a container and let sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving so that the hummus has time to thicken up a bit.
4. Serve with crackers and/or veggies, or place on a sandwich or wrap!
