Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Servings: 8

 

 
Ingredients 
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
1 clove garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 teaspoons Morton® Hot Salt™ , divided
¼ cup dairy sour cream
4, 6-inch pita bread rounds, each cut into eight triangles
 

 

Directions

Hummus:
Combine chickpeas, garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice and 2 teaspoons Morton® Hot Salt™ in bowl of food processor. Puree ingredients until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Stir in sour cream just before serving.


Pita:
When ready to serve, arrange pita triangles on shallow baking pan. Brush pita evenly with remaining tablespoon olive oil, and then sprinkle with one teaspoon Morton® Hot Salt™, using 1/4 teaspoon per pita bread round.
Toast pita at 350° F. until crisp, about 5–8 minutes.
Serve immediately with Zesty Hummus.


Tips:

*Substitute two, 7-ounce containers of prepared original hummus for chickpeas. Add Morton® Hot Salt™ and dairy sour cream to mixture.

 For chunky consistency, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes.

 Pita bread rounds can be served soft instead of toasted crisp.
