    Base for a Variation on Hummus

    (Gluten-free)

    These ingredients are in the right proportions for 1 batch of spread. For a gift jar, keep adding a round of all 4 ingredients, in these amounts, until you fill the jar.

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon parsley

    • 1 tablespoon dried lemon rind (looks granulated)

    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

    Combine all base ingredients in a small jar or container. Attach a note explaining how to make the spread. Your recipient will need to add these ingredients:

    • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

    • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, drained (or 1 large tomato, peeled, seeded, and chopped)

    • 2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream

    Directions

    Combine chickpeas, tomatoes, sour cream, and 3 tablespoons of base mix in a blender or food processor. Blend to desired consistency to spread on crackers or pita triangles. Add more tomatoes or sour cream if necessary. Serve with crackers, pitas, or fresh cut vegetables.
