This was fabulous! I did add an extra clove of garlic and some fresh cracked pepper along with some hot sauce for a little spice. After blending this in my food processor I pushed the mixture through a sieve with a flat spoon and it made for a silky texture that I get from my local mediterranean restaurant, only better. I also make a well in the middle and drizzle with a good olive oil, diced tomato and finely minced parsley. It makes a great snack with celery sticks and best of all its SBD friendly! Thanks for a great recipe!

this is way better than any of the stuff i\'ve bought in stores. Didn\'t have any sour cream on hand so I used even more reserved liquid. Excellent.

This was so much better than any other hummous recipe I've ever tried. Came out creamy and light... not grainy. The only changes I made was substituting low-fat yogurt for the sour cream and cutting down just a smidge on the cumin. I took 1/2 of the hummous and blended in some leftover roasted veggies (eggplant, peppers and onions). Thanks Chris.

This was nice and creamy. I added another clove of garlic and stirred in the squeeze of one lemon wedge before serving for extra tang. Good flavors... though I might cut the amount of salt in half next time as it was a bit too salty. This may have had some to do with the fact that we served it with salted tortilla chips but I don't think entirely so. A keeper, nevertheless!

This is a great recipe. I made it for some friends and they all wanted the recipe.

This is soooo good. I didn't and won't change a thing. It's perfect. Thank goodness it's healthy and lowcal/lowfat because I could eat the whole thing embarrassingly quickly.

This turned out pretty well, but I didn't find it to have the creamy texture that I really love in hummus, despite the fact that I used full-fat sour cream and didn't drain the oil of my tahini as you suggested. We ended up having to add a couple extra tsp lemon juice to get it tart to our taste and we ended up adding some olive oil. I have enjoyed it, but I don't think its my favorite. Very good spicing- perfect quanities of cumin and paprika, IMO. Definitely a good hummus to turn to for people watching their fat intake, though- that tahini can be treacherous!

This was really good! Very easy to make and clearly a lot better for you than most other recipes or shop bought due to the lack of oil.

This is a really tasty and creamy humous. I used low fat yoghurt instead of the sour cream, but apart from that followed the recipe. Yummy. Thanks for sharing!
