Hummus
Hummus is chickpeas made with tahini. Hummus is a dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice and garlic. It is popular in the Middle East.
Hummus can be used as a dip for celery, carrot or cucumber sticks. It can also use as a spread on bread and wraps.
Hummus
Hummus can be used in several recipes such as spread on bread instead of butter and dip for veggies (carrots/celery sticks).
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas or 1 1/2 cups (250 grams) cooked chickpeas
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) well-stirred tahini ()
- 1 small garlic clove, (minced)
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for
serving - 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- Salt to taste
- 2-3 tbsp (30 to 45 ml) water
- Dash ground paprika, for serving
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl then process for 30 seconds more. This extra time helps “whip” or “cream” the tahini, making the hummus smooth and creamy. ...

Sweet Potato Broad Bean Salad
What I love most about this salad is that It’s not overly complicated. It’s a one skillet meal. It’s just vegetables you already have in your refrigerator. I made this recipe using a two colour broad bean instead of black beans. These broad beans are from my garden and very unique. Some of the beans are purple in colour and some the traditional white colour. This salad is perfect for lunch or dinner and can keep refrigerated for several days. ...
Bok Choy Salad
I tried this delicious and filling recipe I got from the Allrecipes website. It is excellent for lunch or dinner. The crunch from the bok choy and almonds along with the dressing gives this salad a burst of flavour.
