first timer's YOGURT: hummus; chicken salad

Currently Digging: WATER!

This is the first time I messed with plain yogurt
First time I ever made hummus....

Result: texturally disaster... taste? deliciooso!

For this hummus:

• 1 can garbanzos; drained and rinsed (to get rid of as much sodium)
• 1/4 of lime; juiced
• plain yogurt (maybe about 3oz. coz I used abou 4.5 oz and its a little thin...)
• 5 cloves garlic; roasted
• 1/4 jalapeno; seeded and ribbed; minced
• 3 drops of sesame oil (i don't have tahini!)
• couple dashes of paprika
• freshly ground pepper
• salt to taste
• minced/chopped green onions - for garnish
  

>>i used the bullet to mix everything (or food processor), except for the jalapenos and seasonings.
Maybe next time I should slowly add in the yogurt to adjust the consistency.
Once blended, mixed in the paprika, fresh ground pepper and then salt.
I folded in the minced jalapenos. garnished with green onions then chilled.
