The dogs will like it. I personally don't care for it. I would rather have guacomole or salsa. I don't really like the texture or taste of it...or the color...my daughter buys the big tub of it at Costco and eats it with carrots.
It's essentially a middle eastern version of bean dip. The beans in question being garbanzo (chickpeas, to some). It's generally blended with lemon juice, some olive oil, tahini, and spices. Different varieties with different ingredients blended in (roasted red peppers, garlic, eggplant, etc.) exist as well, but the base is garbanzos.
It's a relatively healthful spread for pita sandwiches, or dip for raw vegetables or toasted pita wedges.
I love it with a little extra olive oil and garlic on top.
I like to take it along with some toasted pita chips to parties myself. It's a nice alternative to all the heavy sour cream based dips that usually show up.
