Low Fat Lime Cilantro Hummus

Bell4523's Note:

My husband found this recipe on a website about a year ago and it has become a staple in our home. (The website is www.urbandrivel.blogspot.com there are quite a few good recipes if you're interested). It's great with Falafel, fresh veggies and pita wedges.
