I think it is good.....and I believe, if you buy it premade, there are different "blends" flavors of it!

Avocado Hummus
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped,

3 Tbsp. lemon juice,
1 tsp. hot pepper sauce

Thanks for the recipes. I will definitely be using them! I also would suggest Greek yogurt!

Hey Jenn-check the YT cookbook-I put a recipe in there called Fat Free Roasted Red Pepper Dip (check the index under Appetizers and then "F") You can make this with fat free ingredients, and it tastes sooo good.

Thanks!

So....my daughter and I went to Wal-Mart yesterday (two different ones and a Harp's grocery store).....we bought stuff to make hummus, but she wanted to buy a premade one to have THEN! Anyway, she asked both Wal-Mart stores and they said they no longer carry the hummus. Isn't that strange. We have always found it by the deli.

I love to make a black bean dip, hummus, or I get the fiesta ranch dry packet of seasoning and use low fat sour cream .

That's where I've always seen it too. Hmmm, wonder if they all stopped carrying it.

I love to add raosted red peppers to my hummus and go super light on the sesame. I have also made a not so healthy kalamata olive hummus! MMMMMM

[paulapoo]

[twalla]

Hummus is my new "crack" == I sooo love it and am putting it on everything!

So far I have not ventured out to make my own but loving the recipies in here!

I like the Roasted Red Pepper and 3 spicy pepper -- oh its so good!!!

We eat a lot of the Greek plain yogurt with finely chopped cucumber and dried mint ...salt and pepper to taste. Its great with everything!

My friend made Hummus once for a party. That was the first time I ever had it and the last. I don't know if it was just her recipe but that was some awful stuff!
