     I love it. I skipped the lemon juice and used low fat sour cream. I used Mrs. Dash instead of pepper and salt and well my son loves it. I love the fact I can control the kick to the hummus. I love hummus but the kick or the bite got to me after a while. I will be making this again. Thank you - 3/11/10

     I added an extra clove of garlic and cut the lemon juice in half and used yogurt instead of sour cream (as suggested byothers) and it turned out delicious. I also added paprika to spice it up a bit. - 5/12/08

     This was very good! I did use about 1 1/2 lemons worth of juice, but that's how we prefer it. Thanks for sharing this! - 5/15/10

     Omigosh this is GREAT! (I added one more TBS of light sour cream. Had it with the new All Bran Garlic Herb Crackers. FANTASTIC MEDLEY OF FLAVORS! - 1/6/08

     I tried it with sesame oil instead of olive oil, it was ok but I think I'll use all olive oil next time. Nice flavor and consistency. Thanks for the recipe! - 5/27/10

     I'm so glad I tried this. It will save me so much money & the taste is absolutely great. I tried to eat up the store bought hummus after & I couldn't stand the taste of it I had to throw it out. I added more garlic. - 3/23/10

     I used navy beans instead of garbanzos and added basil instead of cumin. Really good. I think the sour cream is the essential ingredient. Next time I'll try it with the garbanzos. - 3/15/10

     I've made this several times & LOVE IT! I up the garlic to 3-4 cloves & mince it. I use a potato masher & like the chunky texture I end up with but a blender would make it smoother. I also sub sesame oil for the evoo & only use 1-1/2 tsp. So inexpensive & DELISH - no more store-bought hummus for me! - 7/27/09

     This is a great recipe! Quick, easy, cheap & tasty! My whole family enjoyed this. I added some hot pepper flakes & a little hot sauce. But I imagine you could get pretty creative with this one! - 4/24/10

     I left out the olive oil and it was really good. Cuts down on the calories as well. Good recipe and easy! - 3/13/10
  • O2BSLIM2010
     I used 2 lemons and added 1 half tlbs. of sesame seed oil!
    It came out awesome! I also used only a pinch of Kosher salt, no pepper and about 1/4 tsp. of ground cumin. - 2/20/10

     I love this recipe!! I have had hummus a few times and have to say this is as good as the prepared stuff. I will be making this at least once a week!!! - 2/4/10
  • CELLCHIC
     I call this YUMMUS! REALLY GOOD! I've made this several times. I did not have lemon so I used lime and some fresh cilantro, cumin, and a few shakes of red pepper flakes. Or I've done artichoke hearts, lemon, fresh dill in it--------- Great with celery or crackers. - 1/31/10

     I used FF Sour Cream and the recipe was delicious. This is going to be one of the dips for New Years Eve at our house. - 12/28/09
  • SPARKEYES
     The best hummus I've made so far. I did add extra garlic and used cumin cause I love the flavor. Thanks for a great light, easy to make recipe. Will be making this many times. - 9/21/09
  • APPLEPIEDREAMS
     So good - I sprinkled a bit of cayenne in it for some more kick and and an extra clove of garlic. But adding in the sour cream was great! I ran everything through my blender and it is quick, easy, and much, much cheaper than store bought hummus. - 3/8/09
  • JCATALANO531
     Little too much lemon juice for my taste, but very good and easy to make! - 7/10/08
  • MARRKR
     I used a bit more olive oil, because I wanted it more creamy. My picky dh even liked it. - 6/15/08
  • ARB3MOM
     I made this with Fat Free Yogurt instead and it was great. I didn't have any cumin but it was still good. - 2/26/08
  • NORTHERNLILLY
     Excellent! I was looking for a way to like hummus and this has definitely helped! I used less sour cream than called for but it was enough to let my mouth like it! - 1/29/08
  • LIBBYANN08
     Fantastic! I added a couple more cloves of garlic because I love garlic (about 5 to be exact) and some cumin...very tasty! - 1/13/08
  • CANDYGAL1
     I made this for company, they loved it. I only used half the garlic and added some fresh parsley to freshen it. I also substituted soy cream cheese for the sour cream to keep it dairy free. SO YUMMY! Next time I will add fresh lemon w/ zest! I'll make this often! - 1/7/08

  • STEENALLS
     This is tasty!! And, it smells fabulous as you're preparing it! (It makes you look forward to the finished product!) It's much creamier then the hummus I've tried in the past!! - 8/21/07
