"If you've never liked hummus that's because you only bought that yucky store bought "stuff". Stay away from that and serve this on nice warm crusty bread and watch everyone's faces in delight! I always add more lemon juice, garlic, and salt to my tastes."

A real winner!! This recipe wins on so many levels. Since you don't need Tahini, it's economical.It's made with ingredients that are always in my pantry/frige.It's easy,easy,easy. When I want to make it extra smooth, I remove the skin from the beans. It's a bit time consuming, but it does make a difference. This is also very adaptable for add-ins. I've aded in red peppers,finely chopped artichoke bottoms- let your imagination go!

Yay! so happy to find a sesame free recipe..due to allergies. And then when I saw Kittencal had also loved it, the deal was sealed - lol. We loved this, took it to a party where other people had allergies, and everyone LOVED it! Thanks for sharing!

I love this recipe! The flavor is great and I LOVE that it doesn't use tahini! It's also super easy! I am not a parsley fan so I skipped that and the scallions, but did add a touch of cumin and oregano. Loved it with carrots, celery, and best of all, Recipe #263512 - thank you so much for sharing. It's a keeper!

Really easy and very very tasty! Beats the stuff you get in the supermarket hands down! I will definitely make this again and perhaps play around with the flavors a bit.

My first time to try hummus. This was very good! Refreshing! My hubby loved it too! I used onion but next time I will use green onions, I love them! I added black pepper and seasoned salt like the other poster. Thanks for a great recipe!
