What is Hummus?
Traditional hummus is a dip made from ground chickpeas, ground sesame seeds (tahini), lemon juice, garlic and a pinch of salt, originating in the Middle East. There are many twists to the traditional hummus recipe, including this beet hummus recipe, avocado hummus and hummus with beef. I love them all!
