Do you have a Walmart in Montana? I shop at a super Walmart in Iowa, and they have very good hummus there. It is in the deli section. I love using it on a hamburger or a grilled cheese sandwich. I also use it in the summer with fresh garden vegetables. Jamie

At restaurants, it's usually served with tortilla chips or flatbread. It's great to dip veggies in or even crackers if you like. I also spread it onto tortillas and roll up. You can use it as a spread for sandwhiches too.
