    easily made from on-hand ingredients

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    This was a wonderful dip, and an economical way to enjoy hummus! I really appreciate that the recipe calls for ingredients I... already had in the kitchen--there was no need to go out to the store to find and buy tahini (as another reviewer commented, I always have peanut butter on-hand). Be careful with the garlic, I added extra and it kind of burned my mouth.Read more

    Simple & Effective Hummus

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We have made this recipe time and again. It is simple to prepare and one of the best homemade hummus recipes we've ever... made! We've tried soaking fresh beans (generally not worth the effort) and substituting tahini (we prefer this to the peanut butter). The texture and flavor get better once you let it sit for a day or two.Read more

    It is a great base to start from....

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is such a wonderful base to start making personalized Hummus. I split the lemon with a lime and like the the addition... of that flavor. I also like foods that have some spice to them, so I upped the ground pepper and added some tobasco and crushed red pepper flakes, and then some Grated Parmesan cheese. Since I started using this recipe for hummus I don't think I can go back to store bought. I recommend following the recipe the first time to see how it works and then try adding whatever you would like to try after that.Read more

    Not bad in a pinch

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    If you have the ingredients on hand this is so fast and easy to make. I added a glove of garlic- I loved it b.c I love... garlic but I wouldn't recommend it. I always prefer homemade to store bought, and this was no exception. I would do less peanut butter. It was good and fast and easy...what more do you need?!Read more

    I used almond butter so it was alittle sticky. I countered this with some oil olive. I use a manual food processor so its... hard to crank but so so worth it.Read more

    delicious and easy to make

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The peanut butter was a suprisingly good replacement for the tahini paste. I was skeptical, but it turned out so good that my... 8 year old even liked it.Read more
