Get into the Halloween spirit with this healthy and super simple seasonal dip! Hummus is a great one-step recipe made primarily with chickpeas and a few other ingredients. Did you know? Chickpeas and garbanzo beans are actually the same thing  (“Garbanzo” is the Spanish word for “Chickpea”)! They’re a type of “pulse” – the most widely use pulse in a variety of global cuisines – that are high in both protein and fiber. Use these clean ingredients for a spooky, sweet and savory fall snack that’s sure to please!
