Hummus - you just can't go wrong.

Hummus is wonderful.

It has protein and fiber, is low in calories, and all-natural in its ingredients (usually - check your label!).  It can be a snack food, or it can be an appetizer.  It can be served with cucumber, carrots, peppers, chips, pita chips, pita, and so much more.  It can even be smeared on a sandwich in place of mayonnaise, or put in a toaster oven on a slice of bread

I love hummus.  In fact, I ate it with carrots tonight for dinner, and I was not disappointed.


Here's a little basic hummus recipe for you, in case you are now inspired to make your own:

• 1 can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
• the juice of half of a lemon
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 3 T olive oil

Put it all in a blender and blend it until smooth.
Sooo good.

For variety, you can add some coarsely chopped grape tomatoes or red peppers, or experiment with other herbs and spices (i.e. rosemary)... the possibilities are endless!

Enjoy :)
