"Middle Eastern style spread for Pita bread. This recipe is very tasty and easy to make. This is a very popular dish in this region. The base is usually Chickpeas and Tahini, but the flavor added to the base vary widely from one chef to the next. Tahini is a sesame paste, you can usually find it in the Mediterranean section of your grocery store."

"Nothing fancy about this dish - just good eating. Round off with some feta cheese and crusty bread."

Ingredients: fresh tomatoes, frozen spinach...

"This is a recipe that I got from a vegetarian cookbook and made a few modifications to. We have fallen for this dish and now make it a few times a month. My two year old also loves it. We tried it out on some non-vegetarians and they all loved it."

Ingredients: pepper, dried basil...

"I created this recipe through modifications of other hummus recipes. It suits my family's taste just right and is healthier than others I have seen. My tip is to drain all the oil off the tahini when you first purchase it. We eat it with honey wheat pretzel rods."

Ingredients: ground cumin, garbanzo beans...

"This recipe is inspired by the many hummus recipes I have seen, but had added oil & were lacking the flavor I was seeking. It's classified as Greek for the actual Hummus part, and Indian for the coriander/cumin/cayenne combo, which is common in Indian food, and gives this dip an interesting twist. Tahini is sesame (seed) butter, and the best thing..."

Ingredients: coriander, fresh ground pepper...

"A little twist on the hummus recipe. The green chilies gives this dip a nice slight kick. This also makes a great sandwich spread."

Ingredients: green chilies, olive oil...

"This is a variation of a recipe I came up with years ago. Because the ingredients are combined while the pasta is still warm, the dressing really soaks in and some of the cheese melts, leaving a creamy texture. I usually have a little bit of the dressing left over, which I save for spinach salad later. Hope you enjoy!"

Ingredients: Dijon mustard, dried basil...
