Hummas??

It is awesome with cucumbers, baby carrots and celery. Sometimes I just eat it by itself

Nice dip for pita bread

I cant decide if Hummas is evil for you. Deep down it must be bad for you as i can eat a entire tub for tea along with some cucumber and pitta bread.

p.s

There is a lovely one in the UK with sweet red onion in it as well thats even more

I like the Hummas with Pine Nuts in it. To make it more healthy, use it as a veggie dip. While it has fat, it is healthier than ranch dressing as a veggie dip.

Hummus is good. Sabra is my favorite brand. I eat mine with celery, carrots or pita chips.

Here is the basic recipe I use.

Traditional Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans (drained, reserving liquid)
3 Tbsp tahini
juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt

Add can of garbanzo beans, 1/3 cup of the liquid from the can, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt to the food processor. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid depending on how thick you like it.

To serve: I spread 2 Tbsp on a plate. Make a moat in the hummus with the back of a spoon. Drizzle moat with olive oil. Sprinkle with paprika and chili powder. In the very center place a black olive and finely chopped pickled jalapeno. It looks like something from my favorite Greek restaurant. Serve with pita or veggies for dipping.

I like it on my shawarma's :P deeeelish. Though I cooked it in chicken yesterday and it was a nice variation to breaded chicken. (since breaded chicken is to be avoided for me) Haven't really tried it any other way but I imagine it would be a nice dip. Definitely better for you than my usual dip (Caesar dressing)

love hummus - usually with raw veg or pita or crackers but I think it would be a good replacement for refried beans in some kind of veggie wrap and the deviled egg sounds good might try that and I like home made also basic recipe as posted you can also make it with black beans but it looks nasty :frown:

MG I could talk all day about humus, my favorite is the roasted pine nut kind. You can eat it as a dip with like any veggie, on sandwiches, I eat it with crackers, pretzels and veggies, basically anything I have

Yay for hummus. Pepper strips and carrots and good hummus vessels.

My favorite is the Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. I eat it with pretzel crisps most often but also use it on sandwiches instead of mayo.

If you can't find the roasted red pepper flavor, try buying the peppers in a jar and adding them yourself. So yummy!

All of this. I eat it with pita chips, pita bread, tortillas, and think it's awesome as a vegetable dip. Bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, snow peas, get in some hummus and get in my belly.

I was freaked out for a min because I thought the topic was "Humans??" :laugh:
