This Mediterranean dip is made with chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, and if you love garlic you’ll love this… You can also use this basic recipe and get creative with the flavors. I happen to like a roasted bell pepper hummus, for example. Either way, I love whipping up things like this for a snack for myself, or a crowd… easy, delicious, and nutritious!
