It's an exotic blendof pureed chickpeas or other fleshy beans, lemon, sesame tahini, andoil. Spices such as roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, scallion, anddill are sometimes added for a flavor twist.Hummus is traditionally used as a dip for pita bread, corn chips,crackers, or fresh-cut vegetables. Many people use hummus as a spreadon sandwiches to substitute mayonnaise or as a main ingredient in avegetarian sandwich.This is Chef Sabra Ricci's Italian White Bean Hummus recipe. It'sdelicious and very versatile.
