  1. As it was (with just a sprinkling of salt and pepper) this hummus was rather bland, even after allowing it to meld overnight. After I was more liberal with the salt and added about a tbs of hot sauce for just a bit of a wakeup, it was tasty. Not sure I'll make it again, but it's nice to have such a healthy, protein-filled hummus recipe around. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. Great Stuff! I added a bit of Pico De Gallo powder to add a little kick. I don't think I will buy hummus again. This is so much better
     
  3. Really good - love the change from regular hummus. It took longer to clean the food processor than it did to make this dip...well worth the effort! Thanks AnnieLynn, I'll be serving with veggies & chips for a party.
     
  4. Love this hummus. I've become addicted to homemade hummus, but this tops them all. Eating this with my veggie snacks at work. I'll be making this again and again - could be the motivation i needed to buy a food processor since my blender isn't the best. Made for PAC Spring 2009
     
  5. Yum! I love the addition of black beans. Very tasty with baked chips. Made for PAC Fall 08. Thanks for posting!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hello, all! Thanks to all the great recipes and tips from the community here at Recipezaar, I think I'm finally getting this whole cooking thing down! FYI: When I review recipes, I take into account that I have to alter recipes so my BF will actually eat it - no mushrooms and no peppers! I realize this alters the taste slightly, but there's not much I can do about it if I don't want him to go on a hunger strike! I also try to use low fat and/or low cal alteratives. Gotta watch that waistline! :) I always try to give a kind, thoughtful review, even if the recipe didn't work out for me. <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
