    This is the same recipe that was taught to me by my aunts they are lebanese. However, I leave out the salt. Very delicious. - 8/14/08

    Yum! I made this with sprouted garbanzo beans instead and added the water from the sprouting tray. My version turned out a little salty, but we just added more beans. This recipe is delicious and converts well for raw foodists! - 11/16/09

    Very good - I used a little more garlic and lemon, and added a pinch of cumin seed.

    We love hummus, and it's nice to find a recipe for a small quantity.     - 11/14/09

    I just made this and it was yummy - I added more lemon and just used some fresh cracked salt - so I know it was less than the recipe called for. Thanks for sharing! - 8/24/08

    This is delightful. I may decrease the lemon juice by half next time I make it. Wish there was an exact measurement for a serving. I am using it as a substitute for mayonnaise in sandwiches. - 7/19/08
