Hummus seems to be all the rage today, especially as a low fat healthy alternative to dip. You can use it with fresh veggies, as a sandwich spread, or to dip with fresh pita bread (my favorite!). Hummus can be bought at most supermarkets, but it’s super easy to make at home with just a few ingredients…just toss into the food processor and you’ll have it made!
