I have not tried this recipe yet but it sounds just like skordalia, which is a Greek appetizer dip.

I used to hang around in the Lebanese community. Learned how to make many dishes from the grandmothers who spoke little English. Amazing food, even more amazing people.

Your assessment regarding whether this is healthy is ludicrous. Olive oil, the oil used in toum, is scientifically proven to be healthy, and you even talk about the health benefits of the other ingredients. Toum, especially the way it is normally eaten (as a condiment or dip), is about as healthy as anything you can consume.
