Most hummus recipes call for tahini, which is a sesame seed paste. But tahini is expensive, and if you can't find it (or don't want to buy it), peanut butter is a fine substitute.
Serve this hummus with carrot sticks, pita chips, cucumbers or red peppers for a healthy and satisfying snack for the whole family.
