Yummus Hummus!!

Pin It Hummus is a Middle Eastern dip typically made from chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. The recipe I make does not include the tahini, as it it both expensive and hard to find. It still tastes delicious! This particular recipe is very easy, and can be made using either dried (I did this, it takes longer) or canned chickpeas. You can use hummus as a spread on pita, dip veggies in it, or even chips! (I like it on tortilla chips)
