Baba ganoush, also spelled baba ghanoush is a Mediterranean eggplant dip, popular in many Middle Eastern countries. It mostly has the same ingredients as hummus except for the chickpeas.,This creamy dip would be a great appetizer to serve at your next party or the perfect addition to a mezze platter. Its a delicious alternative to hummus when you want something different and its great for vegan, dairy-free or gluten-free diets. This recipe is from Adeena Sussmans cookbook, Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen (affil link). Im SO in love with her cookbook, I want to make everything in it! Out of all my cookbooks, its probably the one I find myself grabbing the most. Its perfect intro to all that Israeli cuisine has to offer.,Yes, baba ganoush is healthy. The main ingredient is eggplant, which is low in calories and carbohydrates and high in fiber. Its also a good source of vitamins and minerals like potassium and vitamin K. Its also lower in calories than hummus since its mostly made of eggplant versus chickpeas. Baba ghanoush is vegan too.,Greek 7 Layer Dip,Chick Pea and Roasted Pepper Dip,Edamame Hummus,Hot Spinach Dip,Buffalo Chicken Dip
