Love love LOVE this recipe. Even my super-picky 14 year old daughter loves this (she won't eat store-bought). - 2/17/09

I've been SB-ing for a couple weeks now. I liked this hummus so much that I made it again as soon as we polished it off (which was not long at all). - 2/19/11

Very good. I had to use lime juice because I was out of lemon. Still very good. - 9/4/10

Tried it with the yogurt to save calories - BIG mistake - it was so awful I threw it away and started over. Delicious. - 4/7/10

Added yogurt instead of sesame paste- only used 1/4 cup. Initial taste is good- letting mixture sit now. - 10/16/09
