    One of the best recipes for hummus I've found. I usually leave the parsley out, because I don't usually have it on hand. I also sometimes use tahini instead of peanut butter, and I like to add a little bit of smoked paprika for extra flavor.

    This recipe has great flavour, without the cost of tahini (if you can even find it. I used the minimum amount of peanut butter suggested and I did not need all the olive oil. Will definitely use again!

    I started by making this recipe as-is. It tasted more like a peanut satay sauce than hummus. I then added a few TBL of tahini that I still had from my last hummus attempt, a bit more lemon, then several good shakes of hot sauce and finally about 1/4 C of roasted red peppers. This now resembles something hummus-like, but very mild and with a peanutty flavor. I wanted to try this recipe because tahini is sorta expensive and peanut butter is cheap and I tend to always have it on hand, but it's just not right without the tahini. If you aren't crazy about the strong flavors of hummus, you might want to give this one a try, though. My final result is good but I gave fewer stars to the recipe because of all of the tweaking I had to do. I don't understand people who give 5 stars for a recipe when they change half the ingredients and measurements, making it a totally different recipe. you're rating the recipe, not your final tweaked product.

    Perfect, fabulous, wonderful! Don't bother with any other recipe or buying hummus ever again. I used lemon juice, Mrs. Dash garlic seasoning and garbanzo beans I cooked in my slow cooker. It was amazing and perfect and I didn't even add the olive oil! I am so glad I tried this today - now I have healthy lunch and snacks filled with fiber rich hummus ready for work tomorrow.

    I think this is a great starter recipe. I didn't have most of the ingredients so I had to make some substitutions. I didn't have any lemon so I used a citrus/lemon pepper seasoning. I used chili oil instead of olive oil to make it spicy. I also decreased the amount of peanut butter to 2tbs. I will NEVER buy hummus from the store again!!

    This hummus recipe has just the perfect amount of tangyness that hummus needs. I use natural peanut butter, and substitute just a tiny bit of tahini in for some of the peanut butter. If you aren't the biggest PB fan, substitute in more tahini. AB won't mind ;

    This recipe was fine except it tastes like peanut butter. I added a bunch more spices and herbs and still couldn't get rid of the pb taste. It's still good, just not hummus.

    Hit the spot. I'm very picky about my hummus since my absolute favorite is from a local restaurant. For me, I prefer a little less garlic and lemon and more olive oil, but this was very easy to tweak to tast. What would we do without AB?
