Kyle's Hummas

A service is 30 Grams aprox 2 table spoons. You should top with a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil which adds 40 calories and 4.5 grams of fat 3.3 of which is monosaturated.

Serve with one Joseph's Heart Friendly pita. Adds 60 calories. Toasting it makes it crunchy and oh so yummy!!!Submitted by: KBRHONE

Sun Dried Tomato Hummus

Variation of a hummus recipe I found online. I deleted the oil and use literal dried tomatoes in the bulk food section, softened with hot water before being dumped into the food processor.Submitted by: SISTERSUE9

Daal Masala (Lentil Dip)

This very easy recipe works either as a curry over rice or as a great alternative to hummus. Serve hot or cold with fresh vegetables, naan, pita, or baked tortilla chips. It's a good way to get enough fibre into your diet!Submitted by: BLUESENOUGH

Very good hummus! You can also use dried chickpeas soaked 24 hours in fridge with a touch of baking soda. Then rinse very well. Then precede with the other ingredients... but your is great also. - 6/29/07
