    We loved this. (And I always loved the recipes Zenith posted, so it doesn't surprise me that I like this one!) It was easy to make and healthy. I drained the beans even though the recipe doesn't say either way, but otherwise followed the recipe. I do think I added a little salt. When it first came out it was just so-so, but after sitting in the fridge it was wonderful. Love the nutritionals on it too!

    Lighter Hummus, This recipe was originally posted by Zenith She is no longer active at Zaar, but was a wonderful recipe contributor in her day Here’s what she originally had to say about this recipe: A lower-fat version of the traditional Middle Eastern chickpea dip/spread No oil and just enough tahini to give it that characteristic taste From The Best-Kept Secrets of Healthy Cooking , We loved this (And I always loved the recipes Zenith posted, so it doesn’t surprise me that I like this one!) It was easy to make and healthy I drained the beans even though the recipe doesn’t say either way, but otherwise followed the recipe I do think I added a little salt When it first came out it was just so-so, but after sitting in the fridge it was wonderful Love the nutritionals on it too!, Healthy, easy and yumm-o this one’s a keeper I only change it up if I don’t have any tahini then I increase the yogurt and I also thow in a tablespoon or two of EVOO If I have the tahini I make it exactly as listed except that I also use just a sprinkle of paprika and red pepper flakes for DH We have this with Marie’s Pita chips Recipe #51116 and often spread it on our veggie warps Great stuff – Thanks !
