This is a traditional Middle Eastern Hummus dip; it is a blend of garbanzo beans, garlic, olive oil, and tahini. A great dip for a party or picnic. Who doesn't enjoy delicious hummus? The other great thing about this dip is that it is dairy-free and gluten-free too.
Make an olive hummus, mix in 1/2 cup of chopped green or black olives.
Create a nutty hummus by blending in some walnuts or pine nuts.
If time and patience allow, pinch the skins from each of the chickpeas; this will make your hummus smoother. I never do it as it does not make it taste any different and for me, it is all about taste.Have you heard of the olive oil fraud? Find out Which Olive Oil to Buy
