I made this today to pack into the kids lunch boxes. I left out the garlic as the kids tend to turn up their noses at it. So the portion I packed for myself was a bit, um bland. Next time, I would fry up some finely chopped onions and garlic and add this into the blender, instead of just raw garlic. Also, I know it is hardly a healthier option, but I would add in olive oil insetad of water. All in all, it is a good snack and I will probably make it again. Of course, I have to wait for my kids to give me the final decision making feedback, but from my experience, if it is a dip, they like it!

? Dip can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving. ? Pitas can also be grilled in a lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat. [I posted this recipe.]
