Let Sarah Carey show you how easy it is: MIX IT UP SOME MORE If you feel adventurous, try replacing the tahini with an equal amount of peanut butter, sunflower seed butter, Greek yogurt, chopped roasted peppers, pitted olives, roasted beets, steamed sweet potato, avocado, or thawed frozen peas, to name just a few possibilities. med106759_0311_hyt_chickpea.jpg GO BEAN, BEYOND HUMMUS Have fun experimenting, and remember, you can substitute chickpeas in any bean dip recipe.
