Hummus is my favorite go-to snack when I've got the mid-day munchies. This traditional Middle Eastern concoction is easy to make, versatile, and healthy. Basically, you're whizzing up chickpeas (a.k.a.: garbanzo beans) with some olive oil and tahini (toasted sesame seed paste) in a food processor, then throwing in whatever your heart desires to flavor to the hummus.
Hummus is not only great for dipping raw veggies or crackers in for a quick snack, it can also be used as a condiment — I like to spread it on wraps, sandwiches, etc. Try this delicious version I made with roasted garlic that rivals any of the expensive ones you'll find at the grocery store.
