I threw this together adlibing seasoning with the basic tahini to garbanzo ratio from the joy of cooking. This is so easy. And so cheap, for $1 i can buy 6 pita loafs and 78Cents I can get a can of garbanzo beans. It's a great pick me up before or after an aerobic workout. It also makes for a great snack, or even a very low calorie lunch or dinner. Once you try homemade hummus you will NEVER shell out $3 for prepackaged again.Submitted by: ANDICOONS

tastes so fresh you will never want to buy againSubmitted by: LEISAMH

I decided that it would be not only more fun, but more economical, to make my own hummus. This recipe makes about 3 or 4 cups, and with a serving size of 2 Tbsp, that's alot!

As far as cost effectiveness, it actually turned out to be pretty tit for tat, but it was more fun to make it than to buy it!Submitted by: STYKZORZ

You can omit the sesame seeds entirely, but in that case you might also like to omit the olive oil so that the conistency doesn't become too thin.Submitted by: LYSI77
