Quick and Easy Hummus

This quick and easy hummus is one of our Teaching Kitchen recipes. In many global cuisines, plant proteins play a much bigger role that in the US, but that is changing. A variety of plants are considered good protein sources such as beans, legumes (including soybean products), nuts, seeds and grains, like quinoa. The base of this hummus is made from garbanzo beans (a.k.a. chickpeas), which is a great plant-based protein source.

You can find this recipe in our Mediterranean Meal Plan.
