A popular Middle Eastern dish consisting of chickpeas that have been mashed, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice. It is most often used as a dip for pieces of pita bread. For even more flavor and texture, a sesame seed paste called tahini is occasionally added and referred to as Hummas bi tahina. This dip may also be referred to as Hommus.
