I love it. I skipped the lemon juice and used low fat sour cream. I used Mrs. Dash instead of pepper and salt and well my son loves it. I love the fact I can control the kick to the hummus. I love hummus but the kick or the bite got to me after a while. I will be making this again. Thank you - 3/11/10

I added an extra clove of garlic and cut the lemon juice in half and used yogurt instead of sour cream (as suggested byothers) and it turned out delicious. I also added paprika to spice it up a bit. - 5/12/08

I tried it with sesame oil instead of olive oil, it was ok but I think I'll use all olive oil next time. Nice flavor and consistency. Thanks for the recipe! - 5/27/10

I'm so glad I tried this. It will save me so much money & the taste is absolutely great. I tried to eat up the store bought hummus after & I couldn't stand the taste of it I had to throw it out. I added more garlic. - 3/23/10

I used navy beans instead of garbanzos and added basil instead of cumin. Really good. I think the sour cream is the essential ingredient. Next time I'll try it with the garbanzos. - 3/15/10

I've made this several times & LOVE IT! I up the garlic to 3-4 cloves & mince it. I use a potato masher & like the chunky texture I end up with but a blender would make it smoother. I also sub sesame oil for the evoo & only use 1-1/2 tsp. So inexpensive & DELISH - no more store-bought hummus for me! - 7/27/09

I call this YUMMUS! REALLY GOOD! I've made this several times. I did not have lemon so I used lime and some fresh cilantro, cumin, and a few shakes of red pepper flakes. Or I've done artichoke hearts, lemon, fresh dill in it--------- Great with celery or crackers. - 1/31/10

So good - I sprinkled a bit of cayenne in it for some more kick and and an extra clove of garlic. But adding in the sour cream was great! I ran everything through my blender and it is quick, easy, and much, much cheaper than store bought hummus. - 3/8/09

I made this for company, they loved it. I only used half the garlic and added some fresh parsley to freshen it. I also substituted soy cream cheese for the sour cream to keep it dairy free. SO YUMMY! Next time I will add fresh lemon w/ zest! I'll make this often! - 1/7/08

Didn't have everything so I only used one Tbsp. sour cream, and I used the juice of half a lime. Flavor was great and I'd make it this way again! PLENTY of cumin & pepper - salt wasn't needed at all. Total recipe made 300g hummus so 1 svg is 37.5g if it's 8 svgs. I made it 6. :) - 3/12/12

My kids are very picky and don't care for traditional hummus, so I use 1/2 chick peas and 1/2 great northern beans because it's a little smoother. I use the cumin and add a dash of red pepper and some onion powder. Delish! - 9/4/11

I never had hummus before, and cannot eat a lot of garlic, so I cut the amount of garlic right down, and used FF plain yogurt instead of the sour cream, it was mild and smooth and delicious!!! Never knew hummus could be so tasty, next time I may add other spices! - 1/20/11

YUM! Will definitely make this again. I used 1 cup of dried garbanzo beans and soaked them over night, cooked them and used the entire amount (just over 2 cups). I had to add a little more plain yogurt (subbed for sour crm) but it was delish. Make sure you add the salt - mine needed some at serving. - 8/11/10

I used FF sour cream because a lot of the comments on here said it was good. Well, I don't know if it's the FF sour cream or what but I found this to be really gross. I am an avid hummus eater and this tastes nothing like I've had before. I'm disappointed that I've wasted all those ingredients. - 1/22/10
