Hummus
|
| This
Middle Eastern dip has become very popular. You can buy
it ready made in the grocery store, but it is so simple
to make, and you can vary the ingredients to your taste.
Tahini (sesame seed paste) is high in fat, so use less
if you want a lower fat version. You can substitute peanut
butter or 1 - 2 tablespoons of sesame oil for the tahini.
This dip keeps really well, you can make it several days
in advance. |
