Hummus is a tasty dip and these three colorful versions would be great for a party. You can serve this with pieces of warm Pita bread, or chopped vegetables.

I used 3, 15 ounce cans of garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained and divided into 3 equal portions to make the 3 different batches.

Plain Hummus

1 cup garbanzo beans

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 TBS lemon juice

3 TBS tahini

1/ 4 cup water

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

Blend in a food processor until smooth.

Red Hummus
Same as above, but add 1/3 cup roasted red bell peppers.

Green Hummus
Make same as plain hummus, then add 1/ 3 fresh cilantro.
