Seeded Hummus
To save a shopping trip when she was out of sesame seed-based tahini, Sandy Bowens simply toasted sesame seed to use in her quick, garlic-bold version of hummus. Serve hummus as a dip for crisp raw vegetables such as cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and baby carrots. Or spread it in in the cavity of split pocket bread and fill the bread with sliced zucchini, tomato, and sprouts.
