Lavash served with Red Capsicum and Walnut Dip


Lavash is a soft, thin flat bread popular in Iran, Iraq, Turkey and the Caucasus.
Lavash is made with flour, water, and salt. The thickness of the bread varies and depends on how thin it's rolled out. Toasted sesame seeds and/or poppy seeds can be sprinkled on before baking.
There is a soft variation like chapatis and used to make rolls and sandwiches, and another hard version like chips/crackers.
I often make these hard Lavash crackers as a subsitute for chips since they are baked.
I personally love to have chips with a dip, and one of the healthiest lebanese dips is the "Red Capsicum and Walnut Dip". 



Red Capsicum and Walnut Dip - A Lebanese Dip


Eating Chips or crackers is incomplete without a Dip.
Here is a healthy and tasty Lebanese Dip that goes well with any kind of crackers especially Lavash.
It also goes well with Toasted Pita bread.
Simple to make and very healthy too.
Both Red peppers or Red Capsicum and Walnuts are very good for our health.

Hummus (Traditional Arabic/Lebanese Dip)

Here is an exotic dip from Lebanon. This dip has curd mixed with a paste of chickpeas. This dip is a good choice for weight watchers as it is low on fat and full of proteins.
"Hummus" is normally served with traditional bread called "Pita bread", but can also be served with vegetable sticks saute'd with olive oil and pepper.
I learnt this dip during one of our vacations to Dubai.
