"Whipped this up tonight since we have been a bit vegetable deficient lately. I LOVE hummus, as does my fiancé, so I thought this would be perfect. It turned out really well. This is based on my Lebanese friend's recipe for hummus--she is religious about hummus and tabbouleh, so I know I have the basic recipe down pat!! :-) Be sure to adjust..."

"This is very simple and just as impressive. I've posted the full-fat version, but you can make this lower fat by using a low fat cream cheese and a low fat/no fat mayo. You can make this up to 48 hours in advance and it will taste great, just give it a stir before serving."
