Hummus

 Do you love hummus as much as I do?  Here are a few ways I like to enjoy it...


1.  Smear it on a (whole wheat) tortilla.  Add vegetables.  I used to work at a cafe where they would add artichoke hearts, tomatoes, cucumbers, field greens and a little feta.  In my fridge I had tomatoes, avocado and carrots.  Wrap it up.

2.  Brush whole-wheat pita bread with olive oil.  Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.  Bake at 400 degrees until toasty.  Serve with hummus, marinated artichokes hearts, marinated mushrooms, olives, tabouleh, fresh veggies and tzaztiki for a mediterranean feast.

3.  Forget the ranch and instead drizzle a little olive oil and red wine vinegar on your salad and top with hummus. 

I usually buy Sabra brand, but hummus can be expensive and it may be worth trying to make at home.  I'll try and post a recipe sometime soon.  In the meantime, check this out...  http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2013/01/ethereally-smooth-hummus//
