Hummus with Pita Chips
Dip- Hummus (aka Chick Pea/Garbanzo Bean Dip!)
Prep time
Total time
I am not a particular fan of GARBANZO BEANS, so when my sis told me at Christmas that she was going to whip up some dip with garbanzo beans in it I was less than thrilled. Hmmm, I had never tried hummus. Suffice to say, I am now a fan of this dip. (She no longer pulls my hair but does occasionally push the envelope! Actually, I don't know that she ever pulled my hair, I was twice as big...) Enjoy eating healthy! Lisa's Notes: 1. Hummus can certainly be made ahead and stored in fridge. I suggest bringing to room temp for serving. 2. I use both tahini and peanut butter when I make hummus; about 1 T of each.
