MICHELE'S HUMMUS WITH PITA CHIPS



Michele's Hummus With Pita Chips image

After many attempts at making hummus I have finally perfected it...at least for my tastes. This is actually a combination of Ina Garten's Barefoot Contessa hummus recipe and Giada De Laurentis' Everyday Italian White Bean Dip with Pita Chips. *Total prep and cooking time is estimated.
