I kicked up the flavor a bit by adding about a tsp of lemon zest. I also added about a Tbsp of peanut butter because it lacked creaminess. Also got just a bit more of the traditional Tahini flavor with about 1/2 tsp of toasted sesame oil, and also added about 1/2 tsp of cumin. Overall, very good and easy to make with the food processor.

I used a 15 oz can of chick peas, 1/2 cup of plain fat free Chobani, 2 tsp of minced garlic, and added 1 tsp of toasted sesame oil. Otherwise, I followed the recipe and it was great! I tried the blender but ended up moving it to the food processor, which worked much better. This is now my go-to hummus recipe, thanks!

Fantastic!! Wow. I actually had no tahini on hand and on a whim decided to see if I could find a tahini free recipe on zaar. And here it was. The only change I made was that I only had a 16oz. can of chickpeas. My husband and I loved it and we never missed the fat at all! Thank you.

So delicious!! I'm not a fan of the recipes with tahini, so I was so happy to find this one. I up'd the servings to 9 and used 2 (15oz) cans of organic garbanzo beans. I used all organic ingredients and spices. I couldn't find any lemon juice without preservatives, even the organic lemon juice had a preservative, so I bought a few lemons and squeezed. For 9 servings, it's just 1 1/2T, which only took 1 lemon. This was super easy to make and the consistency was spot on using my food processor. I will be using this in my veggie wraps! Yum!!!!!!
