Hi! This fantastic hummus recipe has turned out to be helpful, as all this while I wasn't too convinced going through other cook books...but this time around I am sure I can make a bowlful of pita dip for those mini mid-day meals

I have heard that Hummus is a famous condiment that comes from Levantine cuisine and is widely used throughout Middle East.It can be used as a spread or a dip.Hot pita bread wedges, pita chips and fresh veggies go well with this healthy Hummus dish.Thanks for sharing this recipe.I will give it a try.
