It's a bean dip or spread made from chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), garlic and lemon juice. It's really good as a dip for raw veggies or pita bread, and also good on a sandwich with cucumbers, tomatoes, black olives and onion and lettuce. You can usually buy it in the refrigerated section of the grocery store or make it yourself. There's more information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummus

It is a mashed/blended/pureed mixture of garbonzo beans, olive oil, tahini sauce, spices, etc that is a typical Middle Eastern dish. Typically eaten with pita bread, either spread on or dipped in.

Hummus is chick peas that are blended together into a cramy dipping sauce.

haha actually it is a GREEK sauce. Well, not really a sauce, it is a spread that one would normally spread on pita bread. And I love it! You can pick it up at any grocery store in the deli section, or I like going to Dinos Gyros!

A smooth thick mixture of mashed chickpeas, tahini, oil, lemon juice, and garlic, used especially as a dip for pita.

an exotic blend of pureed chickpeas, lemon, sesame tahini, oil, and spices with added flavors such as roasted garlic, roasted red peppers, scallion and dill.
It is really good with Pita bread (with chicken or beef and rice pilaf).
