     This is a VERY LOW CALORIE hummus, as it contains no olive oil. The serving size here is HUGE, much larger than the standard 2 tbs serving size of store bought brands (for those complaining that 220 calories is a lot). - 3/29/08

     Loved it! I was getting tired of the same old hummus. I added some cumin and some garlic. great in a wrap with fresh spinach :) Even my 3 year old liked it (first time I have ever gotten him to try hummus!) - 3/30/08

     this is good, but I had to add more tahini to make it taste closer to the kind I get at my favorite middle eastern restaurant. - 4/10/08

     Gwenione, this IS healthy, especially if you make it with no-salt-added chickpeas. Sodium is my enemy! It is yummy and healthy. We eat it on whole wheat matzo. The kids can't get enough! - 3/29/08

     excellent! I added some garlic and needed a little more water to get the texture I was after. Next time I'll use a little less tahini... my cans of chick peas are only 15 oz, and I think extra 4 oz would have helped handle the tahini. I love that this recipe uses no oil. - 6/5/10

     Delicious! Also great made with canelli beans instead of garbanzos, it makes a much smoother hummus. - 3/29/08

     This recipe would be even EASIER if you have a Magic Bullet! I love my Bullet for stuff like this! - 3/29/08

     Please note the serving size for this versus the store-bought serving size; this one is much larger so the calories are higher. Tribe store-bought is only 2tbsp for a serving... - 3/29/08

     Instead of curry and chili powder, I used a jar of roasted red peppers-yum!! Or you can use black olives - 3/29/08

     I made the hummus and it was way too thick. Had to add more water and lemon juice and put in 1 Tbsp olive oil. Not the best recipe I've made-- sorry. - 2/20/10

     I love hummus! I'm hooked on a hummus and veggie sandwich. Fill your pita or layer your whole grain bread with hummus, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion and some spouts for a delicious lunch! - 5/3/09

     My Sweetie Man will love this! Thanks for a great one! - 12/31/08

  • VANNESSAVE
     I haven't made it yet. I'm still a bit iffy on hummus - 3/29/08
  • LINDOKAS
     Ususally 2 tb of hummus is about 50 cal, so I'm guessing this is about 2-3 oz each serving? - 3/29/08
