Hummus on Ricethin w/ Basil Microgreens

Often I'm amazed by simple flavors but this blew me away. Homemade hummus is so refreshing and goes with anything, tomatoes, cucumbers, celery, roasted red peppers, cumin and on and on.....but I've now discovered it with basil microgreens. Who knew basil & hummus would make such a lovely couple?! Microgreens may be hard to come by but you might, i repeat might, find them in Wegmans or order them from a great place like Thunder Mountain Foods (my personal fav). But hummus is extremely easy to make. And this can be a base recipe to use and add what other flavors you like. 2 cans organic chickpeas, 1 - 2 cloves garlic, 1 T tahini, 2 T extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 - 1 tsp. celtic salt and juice of 1-2 lemons. blend in a Cuisinart until smooth and creamy. You can add a little spring water if you want it thinner. Great with pita, rice cakes, bread, veggies, chips & pretzels. Though not all at the same time...ha ha!
