    I'm sorry, but I can't believe you've never heard of hummus!! Ok so Hummus is a greek dip made from chickpeas. It's usually where the dips are or you can make it fresh at home. In a blender, 1 can of chickpeas, 1 garlic clove, 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until fairly smooth. This makes about 10 servings. Cal: 60, fat 1 g, carb 10 g, protein 2 g.

    Wonton wrappers, at least in my store are found in the organic section of produce.

    I'd never heard of hummus before coming to MFP.
    ditto!:tongue:

    Not everyone on MFP has access to large assortments of food. In the grocery stores where I am there is no hummus and I could bet that 99% of the people that I could meet on the street don't know what it is.. Anyways, I quite enjoy hummus, but there is no tahini paste here. Does anyone have a recipe/alternative for tahini or know if I can just use sesame seeds instead?

    It's good with pita bread - either as a dip or you can put some in the pocket of the pita with some romaine, cucumber slices, olives, bell pepper and a light balsamic vinaigrette. Yum.

    It also makes a good dip for veggies. Carrots are a favorite of mine.

    I eat my homous with water crackers, preferably carrs but store brand is ok too, carrs only have 14 calories a cracker so I have ten, and it definately makes me less hungry (We spell humous like that in Uk, or at least it does on my packaging !) I get the little snack pots, they are quite low cal and really tasty !!

    You could also get a wholemeal pitta bread, slice it up and head it in the oven and use it as a kind of dipping sauce.

    Yummy !

    Fresh veggies are always a great treat with hummus as well!

    I eat mine with plain or toasted pita bread or bagel crisps.
