JADE HUMMUS WITH PITA CRISPS
A great variation on the beloved hummus. Must have with the pita chips as the flavors were born to mingle. The pita chips cooked in my oven in 10 minutes, so you might want to periodically check that yours aren't burning. I added cilantro because... well, because I love it! Why else would I? ;o) Shamelessly stolen from The Soyfoods Council.

- For a richer flavor, use a combination of olive oil and tahini. Experiment with different ratios to find your preferred balance.
- Adding lemon juice balances the flavors of the hummus and adds a refreshing touch. Use fresh lemon juice for the best results.
- Season the hummus to your liking. Common seasonings include cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- For a fun twist, try adding roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to the hummus.
- When serving, garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and a few whole chickpeas.
- To make pita chips, cut pita bread into triangles and brush them with olive oil. Season them with salt and pepper, then bake until crispy.
