This easy to make hummus is from Short-Cut Vegan: Great Taste in No Time
If you are not a tahini fan (I am not a fan of it), hummus can be a disappointment. This has great flavor and pulls together in a matter of minutes, with a wonderful change in what you expect. Great on sandwiches too!
Italian Chickpea Spread

I like hummus, and homemade is great, but tahini is kinda pricey – so I really like this idea!
A bonus if you think of it that way š All told, even with cheating and using canned organic beans, I spent maybe $1.10 to make the whole batch!
MMMMMMMM,..So easy to make & so verstaile to use too! š
