Red Pepper Hummus

Red Pepper Hummus
Recipe Tip
Humble Hummus
Hummus, made from garbanzo beans, is loaded with plenty of fiber--the soluble kind. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet!

Loved it!
I decided not to add the oil to save on some calories & instead of pita bread, I served with sliced cucumbers! It is awesome & super delicious!!!
