Dr. Bachelor's Humdinger Hummus

Pour the drained chickpeas into a blender or food processor and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend or process until smooth.

Cook\'s Notes: Some chickpea brands are \"drier\" than others (that is, cooked less and therefore the peas are crunchier). Just add more olive oil if you cannot get the dip smooth. I like to add a tablespoon of red curry paste (my secret ingredient) to give my hummus a kick, but again, the amount depends on the hotness of the paste, which differs by brand.
