Low-fat Lemon Hummus

This recipe makes a large batch but since it's only 2 Weight Watchers Points per 1/4 cup, it is a great "bang for your buck".  Is good on everything from veggie sticks (carrots, celery, cucumber) to salads!

4 cans Garbanzo Beans (reserve the juice)
1 Onion, chopped
6-8 cloves Garlic depending on size and preference
2 lemons, whole
4 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper

Squeeze lemon juice into large bowl then add remaining ingredients.  Use stick immersion blender (or large food processor) and mix all ingredients.  Add liquid reserved from the Garbanzo Beans to thin hummus to the desired consistency.  I think I ended up using about 1/2 cup.  This is the key to making great hummus without the Tahini (extra fat and calories).
