Are you looking for a low-fat dip? This easy-to-make appetizer is "somewhat
similar to hummus, but the parsley and lemon juice make it more
refreshing." The dip is best served at room temperature. Try it as a
sandwich spread: add tomatoes, sprouts and chili peppers. Reviewed by a
reader of the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel (1997).
