this recipe is really good - a great cost-cutting alternative to tahini hummus
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.
Great subsitution for hummus! Also, kids mentioned that they would like it as a taco topper instead for sour cream-- perfect texture and taste.
I was out of sour cream, so I substituted cottage cheese instead with a little water to make it the consistency I wanted. So yummy!
