How in the world does this make sense? Who are the people who buy the teeny containers of $6 hummus at the grocery store? And, more importantly, do they realize it's the exact same brand? Hmm..sometimes I wonder
Anyway, a super favorite, ultra healthy (not) snack of mine is dipping mesquite BBQ chips in hummus.
When I'm out of BBQ chips, I use tortilla chips, Wheat Thins, even pretzels. Oh, sometimes I use carrots as a last and, believe me, desperate resort.
I dressed up some Costco hummus for two reasons: I had some white beans I wanted to use up. Also, I'm too lazy to go out and look for tahini (which makes the hummus, I'm told), so, by using store-bought hummus, it already has the tahini in it.
Lime White Bean Dip
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
1 cup white beans (I used northern beans), mashed
1/2 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. onion powder
1/4 t. sea salt
1/2 t. lime juice
1/2 t. grated lime zest
1/2 cup prepare hummus
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir well. I used a potato masher to mash the beans and then just stirred everything else together. Add more salt to taste if necessary. Serve with chips, crackers, or veggies.
YUMMMMM. I am so going to try this! I bought the huge thing of hummus last weekend and am always curious of other ways to use it rather than just eating it with chips. Thanks for sharing!! :)
ReplyDeleteBBQ chips? Oh my god you're a GENIUS. The flavor must be awesome. I love the idea of the lime and the hummus with the white beans. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a recipe to try!
ReplyDeleteHave you made hummus before? It's so easy and way cheaper than the tubs. I cooked my own garbanzo's, pureed them with tahini, and lemon juice and a few spices. So good!!
I LOVE hummus.I've always felt overwhelmed at the thought of making my own. Plus, the hubs is not nearly a huge of a fan of it as I am and I don't want to end up with a gaint vat of hummus that only I will eat.
