Yummus hummus
Yummus -a lower fat and calorie hummus.

You can easily dress up the boring looking hummus by serving it in an interesting dish, or creatively arranging the dunkables.

1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1/2 tsp each of salt and granulated sugar
1/4 tsp each of ground cumin and ground coriander
Place all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and whirl until smooth. Serve with warm whole wheat pita wedges, breadsticks or crisp veggies for dunking.
