Hummus is best served cold, with warm triangles of pita
bread. The traditional way to serve it is to pour the hummus
into a bowl and drizzle it with olive oil, then sprinkle the top
with paprika.

Before-You-Know-It Bean Dip
Not all bean dip comes out of that creepy
little can. You can make hearty, delicious,
all-natural bean dip in seconds.
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
1/4 of a medium-sized onion
(about 1/4 cup)
1-2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup roasted red peppers (jarred)
When you pour your fresh salsa in a bowl, you may notice the
power of the Magic Bullet has made it a little foamy. Don’t
panic — the foam is actually tiny air bubbles that go away
after a few minutes. If it bothers you, lay a paper towel down on top
of the salsa and gently blot … no more foam. Also, when you make
salsa with a knife, you typically seed the tomatoes first. Since we’re
throwing the tomatoes in whole, there may be more juice than you’re
used to. If so, just twist on the Shaker/Steamer Top and strain out
some of the extra liquid.
Serve your salsa with tortilla chips, slices of Italian bread, or
as a dip for triangles of quesadilla (see recipe Page 43).
Chunkier Salsa. For even chunkier salsa, after you’re done
Pulsing, stir in some canned (drained) black beans and a bit of
canned corn — a fiesta for the taste buds!
