Hummus

Hope this helps. -------------- We must become the change we want to see. Ivan Montreal Canada (aka SpongeBob Square Pants to some!)

It's not that hard to make and way less expensive if you make your own- also you know exactly what's going into it. Here's the recipe I use: 1 (15-ounce) can of Garbanzo Beans, rinsed and drained 1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 4 tablespoons tahini 4 garlic cloves 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice Ground Paprika Place everything in a small food processor and process 'til well blended. Scoop out into a dish and garnish with paprika.
