Zesty Recipe ∗ Michelle's Zesty Hummus-like Spread

I made this recipe the other day when I was hungry for hummus but didn't have all the ingredients. Italian-style salad dressing adds a nice zest to an otherwise traditional favorite. Garnish with the unused half of the red pepper or spinach. Serve with bagels or pita bread.

Ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans
• ¼ cup Italian-style salad dressing
• ½ cup creamy salad dressing, e.g. Miracle Whip ™
• 1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon sesame seeds

Cooking Directions

1. In a food processor, blend the garbanzo beans, Italian-style salad dressing, creamy salad dressing, 1/2 red bell pepper, oregano, garlic powder and sesame seeds.
2. Spread on a bagel or pita, garnish with spinach and the leftover bell pepper, or serve as a dip with crackers, garnish with bell pepper cubes.
