Black-Eyed Pea Hummus

I found this in a Chicago Tribune article on ways of adding fiber to your diet. I adjusted it a bit to suit my family and we were really pleased with the results. We like hummus with Trader Joe's Italian Crackers but this is great with whatever you like to dip into your hummus!
