Preparing for a dinner party can be a stressful time and to prevent your guests from dying of hunger while they are waiting for the main course, hors d’oeuvres are essential. A quick, easy, and healthy hors d’oeuvre is a hummus dip served with pita bread.

Chickpeas, one of the main ingredients, are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Hummus dip and pita could also be a light healthy breakfast or an afternoon snack.
