| You might feel that this hummus calls for some salt, I know I feel that the recipe really needs it. Use a salt substitute such as AlsoSalt. I really like the taste of AlsoSalt, which is a salt substitute without the heavy chlorine taste of other salt substitutes. It's easy to find AlsoSalt in most grocery stores now. |
Note that chickpeas are the same as garbanzo beans. Different parts of the country call them different names, but be assured that they are the same legume (dried bean or pea).
