equals...yummy homemade hummus!!!!Oh wow...I LOVE Hummus! I have been eating it with pita chips, putting it on sandwiches, the possibilities are endless. I bought some at Trader Joe's the other day (16 oz for $3....which isn't bad). But, I got brave and decided to make my own. The result? Less expensive, creamy, delicious hummus. Also, try some other variations such as roasted garlic, roasted red pepper or spinach artichoke...be creative.
