Dietitian's tip: Serve this easy Mediterranean spread with warmed whole-wheat pita bread. For a different taste you can substitute white, butter or lima beans for garbanzos and 1 teaspoon toasted ground cumin seeds for the paprika.
Makes: 3 cups

1 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
3 Tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
2 Tbsp chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
In a blender or food processor, add the garbanzos. Process to puree. Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, paprika, tahini and parsley. Blend well.
