Question:

What are some ways to eat hummus, and is it good for you?

I've recently had hummus for the first time and I found it quiet tasty! But is it a dip, a sandwich spread... ? What are some yummy ways to eat it, and is it a healthy food? Thanks!


Answers:
Yep, it's a veggie dip(I LOVE it with Cucumbers), have it with crackers, as a sandwich with some tomato and lettuce and onion...or as just a light spread to give your sandwich flavor. I love the sun-dried tomato and roasted red pepper! Yum!

Oh yeah, also very good with wrap sandwiches!

You can use it as a veggie dip or in pita bread with tomatoes. You can also toast the pita bread and then break it up into bite sized pieces and dip them in the hummus - also tasty. Any cracker will do just as nicely.

Hummus is extremely good for you - as close to the perfect food as you can get.

The base to hummus is chick peas (vegetable). So yes, it's good for you.

I like it as a dip. But don't eat it with crackers, as they are terrible for you, health wise!

I eat it as a dip and as a sandwich spread. It's also good in wrap, with some salad.

it can be very healthy but like anything if you crowd it with too much fat it can get too heavy.

it's great as a dip but can also be used as a spread. also you can make variations of hummus you don't have to use chickpeas you can use white beans, navy beans, etc.

Good stuff. Enjoy!

Hummous is delicious served with fallafal, salad, with guerkins in warm pita bread. Enjoy.

you can use hummus as a sandwich spread (using meats or veggies or a combination of both). it can also be used as a dip eaten with raw veggies, pita triangles, crackers, etc.

it is also quite healthy; it makes a great alternative for mayonnaise, cream cheese, and other high-fat spreads. the main ingredients in hummus are chickpeas, EVOO (extra-virgin olive oil) fresh lemon, salt and pepper and sometimes tahini (sesame paste). it is usually spiced with fresh garlic, parsley and paprika.

you can find a good hummus recipe at www.epicurious.com and a good brand of hummus to buy at the store is Tribe Hummus (they make many different flavours). you can visit them at www.tribehummus.com.
