ORANGE HUMMUS

I really like this hummus recipe because it is very flavorful but low calorie. Unusually, it doesn't include olive oil - which, even though a healthy fat, tends to add a lot of calories. The creaminess comes from orange juice, cider vinegar and, in an interesting twist, a little soy sauce. The perfect amount of moisture to bring all of the delicious ingredients together.
My husband and I were going to a wine tasting dinner with a group of neighbors, and sometimes we like to have a light nibble before a night out. I made a batch of this wonderful Orange Hummus in 10 minutes, and it didn't take us much longer to enjoy every last bite.
