Green Herb Hummus

I got this recipe from Jen's blog: http://www.bakeorbustblog.blogspot.com/. I LOVE hummus and usually buy some at the farmer's market every saturday. This week I decided to try making this recipe and I'm so glad I did! It's so easy (if you have all the ingredients) and was a lot of fun for Macie to help me make.
Ingredients:
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons tahini
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
6 fresh basil leaves
1 medium scallion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
*Options for dipping: carrot sticks, sliced cucumber and whole-wheat pita chips

Directions:
Place ingredients in a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until smooth. Serve with dippers.
