     I just made this and it's great! I used only 1/2c of NF yogurt and upped the garlic (and no salt) and it was exactly what I wanted! Thank you :) - 4/28/09

     Incredibly bland. I added extra chick peas - to balance the runniness of the yogurt, added a little more lemon juice, lots of cumin, some pepper (black and red) and more garlic. - 8/13/08

     This was very easy & very good. I just recently tried hummus (didn't even know what it was) & it is just the thing for that after work snack to hold you over till dinnertime. - 10/28/08

     You can also make hummus without yogurt, or tahini, just put, garbanzo beans, 1sp olive oil, garlic, the liquid from the can of beans, salt, pepper to taste. You can add any spice you want..I like dill it tastes really good. - 4/14/08

     lol hey Cindy 1/28th in the servings posted says 1 tablespoon that may make it easier to figure out than the eye balling method hehe - 3/19/12

     Wow - I've made this 3 X now! I like the yogurt; makes it very smooth and creamy. The variations I've tried include sundried tomato, cilantro and just plain with less lemon. I started eating hummus when I visited AUS. I'd agree with most. You can't beat homemade! Thanks for sharing! - 2/19/11

     Thank you for this "low cal" recipe! Great - 7/16/09
  • CINDYYB
     We loved it! Like other raters, I upped the amount of spices so it wouldn't be so bland. Very smooth, creamy, delicious. Can't tell how much a serving is though. What are you supposed to do? make a batch and eyeball it into 28ths and a 28th is a serving? Luckily this is so lo-cal it's not to worry! - 4/23/08

     Instead of adding yogourt I did not drain all the liquid
    the beans came in. I also added a little olive oil, doubled
    the garlic and added ground pepper and red pepper. Great! - 4/14/08

     Recipe was good but needs to be spiced up! I did not use canned beans, I chose to make them from dried beans. It was more work but I think hummus turns out a creamier texture when using the dried beans. Thinking to add some jalapeņo. - 11/6/20

     I have never tried hummus - never really use any type of dips, but this does look like something that I may want to try out. Going to save this recipe. Thanks for Sharing - 6/4/17
  • STARDUST_1970
     it needs something like sun dried tomato to give it flavor. I love sun dried tomato in mine. - 11/16/13
  • SERIOUSLY22
     Definately has a unique taste because of the yogurt. Thank you for sharing! - 4/3/13
  • NIKESHA22
     Nice recipe, needs spicing up a bit since yogurt replaces tahini which I usually use. However I tried this recipe and added chilli seeds in the mix a dash of olive oil, fresh corrinder and blended, after pouring it into a container I sprinkled paprika over the top and dash olive oil, delicious! - 3/8/13
  • LESLIEMAMATO3
     I only added 1/4 yogurt as suggested by others and I added red pepper flakes. Love it w/o the added fat - 3/6/12
  • DANCINGQUEENAK
     A hit! So easy and delicious. I am excited to try adding red peppers next time. - 1/29/12
  • RACHELDAWN24
     This is great. It is very flavorful and easy to make. An economical alternative to purchasing your own hummus as well! - 1/24/12
  • REBECCA2330
     Delicious! I'm glad there is a hummus recipe without tahini, since I can't seem to find it anywhere. I subbed FF sour cream instead of yogurt. Also, I was out of lemon juice, so I used red wine vinegar. Thanks for the recipe! - 11/13/11
  • BOTVOT
     Good, but needs more lemon juice and definitely some cumin powder. I even added a little water to make it less dry. - 11/12/11
