Quick, Creamy Hummus Spread

"When I want hummus that is more of a dip consistency I use plain yogurt. When I want it to be more of a spread, I use light cream cheese for a richer effect. It can all be made in a blender, and is the quickest side dish that we repeatedly make."

  1. Great taste, but very dry and crumbly as written. I had to add 3 Tbls. of LF sour cream (I was out of yogurt) in addition to the light cream cheese to get it to hold together. We all loved the finished result. I served it with both Recipe #164852 and Recipe #193342.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I recently graduated from college and even more recently married my life's love. So "About Me" is "About We." We always try to eat healthy, though we allow ourselves some indulgences. We avoid corn syrup, alcohol (which we dislike the taste of), and pop. I am also a notorious substitions-maker: local honey for sugar, homemade applesauce for vegetable oil, and I often entirely omit salt, meat, or anything I don't happen to have on hand. Essentially, I meddle with recipes to a fault. We are dreadfully tight with our money, befitting newlyweds, so we only go to the store every other week and have to make things stretch until then. Other info: We like to take walks, read the Bible together, travel, play board games, visit parks, read books, and cook together. I also scrapbook, and we both love cats (hence the pic).
