Hummus Plate

Hummus Plate

Hummus or Middle Eastern chickpea spread is so satisfying and versitile, as a snack with veggies and rice snaps, in a wrap or sandwich, a stuffing for mushroom appetizers, or diluted for a salad dressing! It’s easy to keep it low-fat by abstaining from adding oils. If you need to control weight, avoid further added fat by eliminating the tahini (sesame butter).
