A good low fat spread.	Submitted by: FERRI004 (4/22/13) report inappropriate
This is the first time making my own hummus-and completely from scratch; dry beans and raw sunflower seeds! I added bit of kosher salt for my own taste---Delicious!	Submitted by: HERSHEY3BEAR (1/31/13) report inappropriate
Humus is awesome, I made mine with Chick & Black bean. I prefer to use dried beans a much better taste, I don't do canned way to much salt. I make lots then freeze.	Submitted by: RTHOM28 (1/30/13) report inappropriate
I'm not a tahini fan, so I put olives in it instead (some to process and then add bits for extra flavor). I don't need to worry about sodium though.	Submitted by: BFLYLADY5 (8/23/12) report inappropriate
Using canned beans is the best way to assure a creamy texture--sometimes starting from dried beans, it's hard to get them soft enough. Mix with some yogurt and use as a lowfat high flavor sandwich spread. Add red pepper flakes instead of cayenne to control the heat factor.	Submitted by: NANCYHOME247 (8/21/12) report inappropriate
Try making a black bean hummus (although technically, I think it's hummus only when made with chick peas. Consider it a black bean dip!) Use black beans, garlic, cummin, salt, white pepper, fresh oregano and olive oil. Dip with pita, cuban crackers, fresh green bell pepper strips. Really delicious.
