     We made this last night. It was awesome. We roasted fresh red peppers prior to making it and added it into it. Our friends loved it as well. - 4/1/12

     This is very tasty. I drained and rinsed the beans. Also, used my immersion blender to puree and it worked well, left some small bits of sun-dried tomatoes, which was good. I will make this again, next time will reduce oil and use more water to reduce fat content. - 4/1/12

     This is a fantastic recipe idea. The type of beans used does give a creamier texture.I used dried basil (rather than fresh) and oregano, 5 olives (15g) instead of olive oil,3T fat free sour cream to get desired consistency and for more protein, 1 hard boiled egg white.(35g dried tomatoes) - 4/11/13

     Hi. This sounds delish! I'm wondering, has anyone tried it with chickpeas? And is the recommendation to not use sundried tomatoes in oil just a calorie thing, or do they not work well in the recipe? I think the taste would be incredible if they can be used successfully... Anyone?

     I am eating this with tears in my eyes. It's ABSOLUTELY divine! And so easy to make! I made it with chickpeas, as that's all I had, but I'll try cannellini beans next time. Thanks for sharing with us :-) - 3/31/14

     Am definitely going to try it, my daughter-in-law cannot eat sesame seeds, so this will work very well. I'm also excited to try it and will be making it today! Thanks for the recipe... - 4/23/13

     I would have to cook my own beans since the sodium content is one third of my daily allowance, but it sounds lovely. - 7/19/20

     I thought this was fabulous...but I was the only one. The others prefer my normal way of making hummus which is using chickpeas. - 2/25/20
