By substituting the main traditional ingredient in this hummus recipe (chickpeas) you I can create various types of delicious hummus dips. Instead of chickpeas, substitute sun dried tomatoes packed in oil (drained and rinsed); OR canned artichokes (drained and rinsed); OR roasted, marinated red peppers (drained and rinsed); OR avocado (fresh, peeled, chopped); OR eggplant (freshly grilled, peeled) or 1 to 2 cooked, peeled beets. So easy and versatile.
