A Keeper!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The one excellent thing about this recipe is "It's delicious and versatile." We all have our likes and dislikes and this is a... recipe that is easily adaptable to individual taste. I love htis recipe even though I altered it alittle. I like a bit more kick in my dip so I added more hot sauce and an extra clove of garlic. But the basic recipe is child friendly and a good way to get kids to try raw veggies. Good going Rache! Louise, CA 08-24-09Read more

too much lemon!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I had high hopes for this recipe, but the zest plus juice of one whole lemon completely overpowered this dip! I had to add... another can of chick peas to tone it down, but still it didn't make an impression on my party guests, as I had to throw away most of it afterward.Read more
