hummus is a dip/spread made from chickpeas, primarily - it also has some other stuff in like lemon juice and tahini, but I don't remember what it has in exactly.
It's good in hummus salad sandwiches or for dipping veggies/breadsticks in.
It's also a food of the gods and subject of much heated debate here on VB.

I like mine a LOT better when made with pinto beans.

This is from Raising Vegetarian Children
2 c. cooked pinto beans, drained
2 tbs. tahini
2 tbs. balsalmic vinegar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp bottled hot sauce
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt
2 to 4 tbs. sliced scallions
Combine beans, tahini, vinegar, hot sauce, cumin and salt to taste in a food processor. Blend into a smooth paste. Pulse in scallions until finely chopped and evenly distributed.
(I used chili powder instead of hot sauce, and white vinegar since I didn't have the other stuff, and it turned out very YUMMY)

Here is a basic hummus recipe. I add a few sprinkles of ground cumin to mine and put a little less garlic.

Mine has garlic, lime juice, chickpeas/garbanzo beans/ and raw seasame seeds/Tahini in it!!
