Re: Urgent???

You know you shouldn't have hummus.

Use oil and vinegar. Or oil, lemon juice, spices and herbs.

Or if you really want to use mayo, you could make a dressing out of it. I was wasting time on YouTube today and Jacques Pepin has a recipe where he is mixing mayo with mustard, some red wine vinegar, a bit of water, pepper and chives (he said you could also use scallions) to make a salad dressing. The recipe is here: YouTube - KQEDondemand's Channel
Starts at about 2:50.

Re: Urgent???

Thanks Georgiana.. OK i guess the reason for the NO hummus is because of the beans???
I even checked in the book but found nothing on it. Thanks and I will try that recipe for the dressing. I use mayo because I have a hard time getting enough fat calories, although I have added the avocado to my salad now. Just about ¼ of one this week. Never bought it before so wanted to try one before buying to many..love it!!
thanks for all the help..Hilda

Re: Urgent???

Yes, it's because of the beans. It would be good for OWL Rung 6 though. So do you just mix hummus with mayo or do you also add something else to it?

Re: Urgent???

I use 1/2 tbsp of hummus garlic and chive flavor with 1 tbsp of mayo and 1 tsp of horseradish..
I gives it a nice little bite to the flavor..rung six is a long ways a way.. but hummus lasts for a long time so that is OK..
