nutritious junk

Lately, i've been in search of more delicous but healthy spreads to spruce up my wraps and sandwiches. Now before i give a hummus review, let get one thing straight, I am a very biased hummus-er. Why? cause ive tasted the best (yes the BEST). My cousins live in very rural town in Israel (which is actually atypical since most of the populating lives in the big industrial cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa), and a couple miles from their town is a tiny arab village with a teeny whole in the wall lebennese restuarant where they make their own tahini fresh everyday. If you know anything about hummus, you know that good tahini is key. Anyhow THAT was the best hummus i ever tasted, so genereally, the packed stuff i find here in the states is very underwhelming. I digress...but my point i am hard to impress when it comes to hummus. So i thought i might as well give Athenos' Black Olive hummus a shot. Nutrtionally, very good (like most hummus) with 50 calories per two tablespoon serving with 3 g fat, 1 g fiber, and 1 g protein. No weird ingredients either. And guess what, me being all snobby about hummus and all, i actually really enjoyed this. I had this with my wrap, on top of a salad, as a dip for veggies and even as a dip for cold chicken strips! This was not like the one i got in Israel, of even close but it was yummy. the olive was not very dominant but i was ok with that and if you dont like olives, you still might really enjoy this. So try this if you spot it, and if by rare chance you make it to that teeny whole in the wall in that arab village, try THEIR hummus, you'll be in heaven!
