Make this for a party! It is fabulous! It is also great on toasted bread! The lemon-garlic-thyme flavor hits the spot!

I loved this one..... and it was so easy. The funny thing is that I usually can't stand chick-peas but this dip was really yummy! This is one of those recipes for which I always have the ingredients on hand. Creamy and delicious. My husband enjoys it with crackers for a light supper.

The one excellent thing about this recipe is "It's delicious and versatile." We all have our likes and dislikes and this is a recipe that is easily adaptable to individual taste. I love htis recipe even though I altered it alittle. I like a bit more kick in my dip so I added more hot sauce and an extra clove of garlic. But the basic recipe is child friendly and a good way to get kids to try raw veggies. Good going Rache!
