1 cup fresh basil, tightly packed
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 lemon, juice of
2 fresh garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil (or more, if desired)
1/3 cup tahini
salt and pepper

Directions

1
Place ingredients in blender or food processor and puree until creamy, scraping sides occasionally.
2
Taste and adjust flavors as desired.

Prose, this is one super yummy, special, creamy, healthy hummus!!! My sis and me enjoyed it so much over some chickpeas! Mmmm, what a great way of getting nutrients into your body!
