    Flatouts.....best thing ever. Or the sandwich flats put out by Arnold......the best snack ever in terms of fiber, low carb, and protein.

    I love it on so many things, like all the things listed before me and I also love it on veggie chips from the whole foods market. They are dried pieces of veggies........ beets, potatoes, carrots, green beans, etc... Even better than fritoes and bean dip........... Some hummus is so much better than others also. Of course the ones that seem to be extra yummy are extra calories as well. But worth it!
    Also I am not sure if anyone mentioned Wasa flat bread.......... like very thin long crackers......... 35 calories a cracker.

    Yum! On veggies, on sandwiches/wraps (instead of using mayo). I saw a recipe for hummus soup in a book recently that I wanted to try. I imagine it would work with pretty much anything (as long as it isn't sweet - doesn't seem like a winning combo to me!)

    Mmm...my rule of thumb is that if it doesn't move, you can put hummus on it.

    OMG what don't I put hummus on is the question:

    - Pita chips
    - Whole wheat pita
    - All sorts of veggies
    - As spread for sandwich instead of mayo
    - Rolled in turkey deli meat

    Endless possibilities

    I agree with the using it as a sandwich spread. In that same vein, I use it as the "binder" for my tuna or chicken salad.

    EVERYTHING !!! LOVE IT
    I actually work for the best Hummus producer in the world,.......Garden Fresh Salsa in Ferndale Michigan.

    We produce tons of hummus and ship it all across the country under the Garden Fresh label, Whole foods hummus is from us,.....Margaritaville,.....yup that's us too,.......Publix Private Label, and ALdi,.....all yummy and all made here.

    Favorites are Roasted Red Pepper and Greek,......I use it as a dip, carrots and low fat triscuits are my favs. I also use it as a spread on pita sandwiches or chicken kabob wraps.
    It is a terrific source of protein,......but I eat it in moderation due to the fat. Can you imagine the temptation of having it all day right outside my office ????? :o)

    Margaritaville?! You make the BEST Chipotle Garlic Salsa, I fell in LOVE with it when I was in SoCal last year. Guess what? They don't have it up here in Oregon...

    Hummus (even flavored) is super economical and easy to make yourself.

    I eat it with veggies, with thick warm pita bread, on black bean chips, rice crackers, spelt cakes, Wasa crackers (it's really a flat bread), with avocado, onion, and tomato on toasted rice cakes (trust me, toasting rice cakes actually makes them good. Works for popcoen cakes, too), in schwarma ( grilled lamb or beef with grilled tomato, onion, cucumber, and zucchini tucked into warm taboon bread and drizzled with extra tahini).

    The possibilities are really endless.

    I put it on sandwiches. It goes great with cucumber and whole grain bread.

    If I don't have many calories spare I'll enjoy dipping pepper sticks, celery, carrot batons & cucumber sticks into it.

    If I can afford the calories, I toast a piece of heavily seeded wholemeal bread and slather hummous onto it, YUM - and very filling too.

    Several British supermarkets do lower fat versions, but in any case the flavoured varieties (eg roasted red pepper, or roasted onion) tend to be lower calorie, simply because a substantial part of their makeup isn't hummous! :bigsmile:

    EDITED TO ADD: It's a source of regret that I can no longer serve it garnished with a hefty slug of extra virgin olive oil, but that doubles the calories. Not worth it, apart from an exceptional treat, even on maintenance calories.

    You have to buy a good brand thought like Sabra.

    I bought a Safeway/Dominicks (generic) brand and a Sabra hummus last night. The pine nut Hummus Sabra is WAY better than the generic brand.

    Also, is very tasty with salted pita chips!

    I'd put it on anything, but just yesterday I put it on a slice of marble rye and WOW was that good together.

    I'd also add that I tried a variation (I don't buy hummus when I'm at home, just puree chickpeas with some garlic, tahini and a little olive oil) a little while back and it was amazing. Instead of tahini, I put cumin, coriander, and cinnamon for a morroccan twist. So, so tasty.
