this was a little too salty for my tastes............i reckon you could leave the salt out completely as the lemon juice more than compensates. I ended up having to add another tin of chick peas and more yoghurt to even it out a bit! -
I am a bit of a hummus nut. I love the stuff but I have to really watch my fat grams. So, I was happy to try this version. I won't say that I didn't miss the sesame background taste that comes with the use of tahini. However, I still liked this a lot and especially with how low fat and healthy it is as a result of there being no oil. The only yogurt I had on hand was fat free Greek yogurt. So, I used that and it still worked fine. I had mine with some celery and carrots but I think it would really come into its own as a dip with home made pita chips. Made for Pick A Chef Fall 2009.
