Persian hummus

This is a step up from the classic hummus recipe; the addition of tomato, cucumber, parsley and onion adds an extra dimension that's almost salsa-like.

Instructions

Blend chickpeas, garlic, lemon and tahini until smooth in a blender or food processor (add juice from chickpea can as needed). Add parsley until well blended.

Empty into a bowl, add tomato, cucumber, onion and salt to taste.

Serve with lots of chopped vegetables, pita or bagel crisps or whole grain crackers.
