I was following a recipe that I had found in Pintrest. What tweeked my interest was that you could make this into a Layered Greek Dip with the hummus as the base! The hummus was lacking in the taste department and needed fixing...so I found this recipe and adapted my recipe to this one. I used 1 whole lime juice instead of lemon. upped my garlic and added more salt and pepper. The addition of tahini was the kicker! My recipe was "ho-hum"...this recipe rocked! I will come back to this one again! P.S. I really didn't notice the difference between white beans and the more traditional chick pea as far as taste was concerned. Both would be equally delicious!!! I served this with Olive Oil and Sea Salt Pita Chips
