    Mightn't be as low-cal as you'd expect with all that tahini. Check the label or buy/make a low fat houmous.

    I make it with only a little tahini. And very little oil. It's more protein than fat that way.

    Use a shallow dish so you can't dip as deep

    The Veganomicon has a recipe for Cauliflower hummus (similar recipe here: http://columbusfoodadventures.com/20...iflower-hummus), your could also try blending silken tofu with herbs/spices/peppers etc to make a dip

    I like the tofu-based Sanctuary dressing in Appetite for Reduction and there's a similar recipe available on the Post Punk Kitchen website here: http://www.theppk.com/2011/05/sanctuary-dip/

    Mashed beans with a little bit of soy milk (or water) and spices are very good. Plus it's got lots of fiber and protein.
