Appetizers and Snacks Recipe √ Curried Hummus

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• ½ cup water
• Salt, to taste
• Hot sauce, to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Put all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Serve (drizzled with olive oil, if desired) with pita chips.
