I made this using Peanut Wonder PB (100 cals, 2.5 g fat per 2 tbsp - www.peanutwonder.com or buy at Trader Joe's) in place of tahini. I also used a 19 oz can, but that made no difference. It came out more lemony and less garlicky than *I* personally prefer. I like my dips with a little more spice, so I added a few dashes paprika/cayenne. Overall, the family enjoyed the dip with my recipe for pita chips and with carrots. I even used some of the leftovers and mashed with canned tuna and came up with a new recipe! I'm posting it today! A tuna melt! You're recipe inspired me!! THANK YOU!

This is my first time making hummus and this is amazing! I used 2 cloves of garlic (perfect if you LOVE garlic) and added a bit of paprika and black pepper for some heat. I made this as a snack for later on in the day and I wish time would pass by quicker so I can have it all! This is creamy and delicious. I think the only thing I'd probably do differently next time is make twice as much :) Thank you!
