Hummus

Submitted by Wayne Mullen

"Hummus is a middle eastern food that is a sauce or dip. It is a vegetarian delight made from garbanzo beans and olive oil. It is very nutritious. It's great with crackers, pita bread, cucumber slices, carrots, and the like. This recipe came off of the can of garbanzo beans from the grocery store."
