STORY BEHIND THE DISH
Hummus is one of my favorite healthy dips, I use it a lot in substitute of mayo for sandwiches & wraps.
MODIFICATIONS
Hummus is a Middle Eastern & Arabic dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas, blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic. If you do not have tahini just leave it out of the recipe, no need to substitute it. You can flavor hummus in many ways, roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, artichoke, basil, cilantro, olive, etc.
