About the recipe
Like hummus only lighter, this dip can be turned into a sandwich when spread on bread and topped with lettuce and a tomato slice.
Serve this dip with red bell pepper strips, celery ribs and pita wedges. Cut up raw vegetables and store in plastic bags or containers; cut pita bread into wedges and store in separate plastic bags. Arrange on a platter with dip before serving.
