This was the most awful Hummus I’ve ever made! Kept re-reading it to make sure I got everything right and sure enough, I did. What a waste! Even tried to add 3 extra cans of chickpeas, didn’t work! Maybe I don’t like artichoke hearts because that’s what I think made it so awful, but not sure as I love Artichoke dips… ?

I made it for a group gals and everybody raved! Served it with various cut up, raw veggies and crackers. People asked for the recipe. Tasted fresh and healthy~

Very good! I teach pressure cooking classes so we made this hummus with dry chickpeas during my last class. A Superbowl party must in our house!

Fantastic! Served as an appetizer when my “meat-n-potatoes” in-laws came over. Even my father-in-law loved it. I used a pizza cutter and cut fat-free flour tortillas and baked them in the oven and used those to dip into the hummus.

Awesome… creamy and delicious without oil. I have a Vitamix but I pureed everything but the chickpeas first, then added them. I did end up adding just a little more stock and a touch more yoghurt to thin it out. Also I had added 3 or 4 sundried tomato halves (the dry kind, not the ones in oil so that might have been the reason for the dryness. It added a really nice sweetness and flavor for basically no calories. True to her recommendation, this was as good on veggies as it was on home-made pita chips. Tomorrow I’ll make a flatbread sandwich with it maybe. :-
