Hummus is a popular Mediterranean dip made out of chickpeas and sesame seeds. Its not only delicious, its versatile and packed with nutrition! Chickpeas are wholesome legumes and a great plant based source of proteins. Sesame seeds are a natural source of fats. The two super ingredients blended into a smooth paste along with other spices result in a creamy, multi-purpose dip. Its a great appetizer, salad dressing and goes well with snacks as well.

Forget the store bought hummus and with a little preparation in advance, you could put together your own, homemade hummus!
