Hummus is superb as a dip for veggies and pita, but it's also quite a big deal on bread for making sandwiches or wraps, and as dressing on a salad; I mean, way to make your salad more interesting: just drop a dollop or two over your greens! Hummus is satiating, delicious and totally good for you. Why? Its main ingredient are Garbanzo Beans, aka Chick Peas. High in essential fiber and protein like other beans, they digest slowly and keep blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly (ideal for diabetics). Chickpeas also contain trace minerals that detoxify sulfites; they also contain iron and manganese, which promote healthy blood and high energy. Blending Chickpeas with essential, monounsaturated, and heart healthy fats such as Olive Oil and Avocados makes for a complete meal!  

Creamy Dreamy Hummus:
1 cup Chick Peas, soaked overnight, rinsed and drained OR 1 cup no-sodium canned Chick Peas
1/2 Avocado
3 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 tablespoon Cumin
1 Squeezed Lemon
1 clove Garlic
1/2 tablespoon Sea Salt
1 tablespoon Tahini (make it yourself- just grind up 1/2 cup Sesame Seeds with 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil)

Blend all ingredients in a food processor until smooth, creamy and thick. Scoop out, serve and enjoy!! If you're using it as a dressing and want it to be thinner, add 1/2 cup water and blend until desired consistency.
