The wonders of HUMMUS!

Who knew you could replace cheese or salad dressing with hummus for a tasty alternative?  If you have dairy sensitivities, & are also looking to cut the fats, go for healthy hummus!  The key ingredients of hummus are chickpeas & tahini (sesame seeds), which are rich in:

                                       *fiber & protein
                                       *folic acid, zinc, and magnesium.
                                       *Calcium & iron

Beans are known to lower blood cholesterol & help to prevent cancer.

It is delicious in lasagna when you can't use cheese.  Try it!  It's delish!!!!
