TOMATO AND BASIL HUMMUS

I read about this on slashfood.com, one of my favorite food blogs. It was offered up as a good dip for the Superbowl, but I can vouch that it's good even for those of us who don't watch the game. I had to try this out and it was a success, served as an appetizer with Moroccan cigars (you don't smoke them, you eat them, silly) and lots of fresh pita.
