With any of these recipes... Chop and add any of these before chickpeas:
  • celery
  • carrots
  • parsley
  • cilantro leaves
  • scallions
  • olives
  • peeled raw turnips or radishes

Add any of these spices: cumin; hot pepper; coriander; black pepper; garam masala.

Substitute any of these liquids: soy sauce; orange or lime juice or balsamic vinegar instead of lemon juice.

Low fat: use only a little tahini; eliminate oil.

Hummus sandwich suggestions... I prefer 5-cereals whole bread with it, and light rye bread as a second choice. Arab bread is nice, as is pita, but normal white is, as usual, never recommended.
  • hummus and alfalfa sprouts.
  • hummus and rocket
  • hummus and watercress
  • hummus and sundried tomatoes
  • hummus and slices of baked eggplant slices(this one a knockout)
  • hummus and baked bell peppers
  • hummus and pickled onions, pickled olives (this one also super, if you can access truly good olives), pickled pickles. Capers are a little too sour.
