My Favorite Hummus Recipes

Whether they're called garbanzos or chickpeas, they still make a tasty dip. Hummus has exploded in popularity in the United States in the last twenty years. And for good reason. It's full of fiber and minerals, and it tastes wonderful. I can almost taste that garlic, the hint of lemon....hmmmm.

I've collected some of my favorite hummus recipes for you. Hummus lends itself to improvization, and there are plenty of yummy recipes for you to try. I hope you enjoy them.

I just love hummus. I used to live in Jerusalem and would often go to a Palestinian restaurant in the Old City and order a plate of hummus with pita bread. Best thing in the world for a hangover,
especially with hot paprika.
Thanks for all the great recipes.
