Cucumber Hummus

It is known that cucumber reduces swelling around the eyes, but did you also know that it protects our inner organs just as much? Cucumber is 90% water which hydrates your body which then stimulates your skin  to be much more clear. I like to eat this hummus with other veggies and in salads!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup diced cucumber ( about 1/2 large cucumber, peeled)
• 1-2 cloves garlic
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon flax seeds
• 15 ounces cooked chickpeas (or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (for taste)

Put the cucumber, water, garlic, and flax seed into a blender or food processor and blend on high speed until frothy. Add remaining ingredients, then blend on high until smooth. Pour into a bowl and refrigerate until chilled and slightly thicker.
