Hummus... need I say more? Here is a twist to an all-time favorite snack. When it comes time for garlic, crushed will do. If you can make garlic ahead of time it will really pay off, especially in this recipe. Take an entire clove and cut the top off, pour a teaspoon of extra-virgin olive oil on top (wrap in foil) let it do magic in the oven at 375 for 40-45 minutes. I use this garlic on everything... so good! My suggestion - make more than one clove. You'll love it!

Ingredients

  • 1 can drained chickpeas, canned
  • 4 oz tahini paste
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup ground ginger
  • ¼ tsp cumin
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 1 medium whole (2-3/5" dia) tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp scallions, sliced
