WOW!! This recipe is amazing - we love the blended version! It really tastes so much like hummus when you blend it and less calories and fat!! The chunky version tastes good too if you dont have a blender/food processor. We served it with zucchini and carrot rounds -- the sweet carrots tasted a bit better.
