    I'm a hummus freak...and very pleased to find a recipe that's easy, tasty and low fat. I've tried it with just the oil and replacing oil with tahini and some oil and some tahini. Something about tahini and hummus is like apple and pies. Will definitely keep having this! - 8/29/10

    I would definitely make again. I used low fat sour cream instead of yogourt, and I added a tsp of olive oil on top. It made a good amount, and it really tasted good - much better than with tahini. I would definitely make again. - 7/29/09

    I've just made it, used fat free sour cream instead and I didn't used oil( used water instead) and it was really good - 2/25/09

    This was wonderful!! My daughter is allergic to tahini(seasame paste) so this fits the bill. I will make this again and recommend it to my friends. - 5/9/08

    I can't wait to try this recipe since I'm not particularly fond of tahini. Can someone tell me the cup or gram measurement of canned chick peas? I will be making this with ones cooked at home. - 2/3/12

    Technically this is NOT no fat - it is low fat but still uses olive oil which is added fat. - 10/31/11

    Amazing! This is my first time making homemade hummus. I had only had the store-made stuff before. This is soooo much better than anything bought at the store! - 2/6/11

    I have used toasted sesame oil in place of tahini and olive oil. One tsp of the toasted sesame oil can add extra flavor. Brands I've tried are House of Tsang and Kadoya. Using yogurt is a wonderful idea. - 2/2/11
