WHAT IS HUMMUS?
Hummus is an iconic Middle Eastern dip comprised of a mixture of mashed chickpeas (garbanzo beans), tahini, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. It’s absolutely delicious!
And there’s no wrong way to eat hummus. Although it’s typically eaten with pita bread, we’ve been known to dip tortilla chips, crackers, veggie sticks and even romaine lettuce leaves. Or use it as a spread on your favorite sandwiches and wraps.
Delish!
