Fusion Hummus

          

This is kind of a Mediterranean twist on hummus. It’s quick, cheap, and super tasty. It goes great on bread, crackers, and is good even stirred into grilled vegetables. Plus, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary… how could you go wrong?

Original recipe makes 4 1/2 cups

Ingredients

2 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, peeled
2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup cold water
