    I made Rita's recipe using a bag of dry garbanzos which I cooked according to the package directions. A bag of garbanzos costs less than a dollar and makes enough beans for a triple recipe. It was easy and so much more economical than buying ready-made hummus. Jim

    Easy and delicious! I spread the hummus on a plate, and drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, then garnished with a sprig of parsley and a sprinkle of paprika. The ingredients are right on...I didn't change a thing! Thanks for a great recipe!
