Did you know chickpeas and garbanzo beans are the same thing? These gems are packed with vitamins and dietary fiber.

Hummus can be a healthy alternative for a lot of things - replace mayonnaise in your sandwich, cheese on your cracker, or creamy dip for your veggie sticks. My favorite dish is spreading the hummus on cucumber slices and topping it with half a sun-dried tomato, sunflower seeds and paprika.

Try this easy recipe for a great snack and dip! #AskenDiet

Delicious. We added a little extra lemon juice.
