    Thanks! I've been enjoyng it lately drizzled on a pita stuffed with sprouts, avocado, cucumber, and shredded carrots. I've found I prefer to make it with more water and less than half the oil than what the recipe calls for.

    I make hummus too, and it comes out really thick, good idea to thin it out for a dressing! I also put white kidney beans and recently put artichoke hearts that are kept in water. The white Kidney beans make it a little smoother, and the artichoke hearts make it have a little bite, which i missed with the lemon. Makes a great spread for sandwiches, and my husband just used it to make chicken salad! YUMMY!
    Let me know if anyone wants the recipe, i'll post it on a separate thread!

    Yeay!!! I love coming up with new ways to eat the things I love!
