Mediterranean Dishes include Hummos, a chick pea/garbanzo bean dip.  SHOWN HERE WITH WHOLE GRAIN CRACKERS.

Ingredients :

1 can large Garbanzo beans ( do not drain )

Using a cuisinart, blend all together except for the paprika.  Taste.  Add salt and lemon juice to taste. ( I eat low salt ).  Should be creamy texture.
